All you say is true.

But unfortunately, none of it matters all that much. A "hot" coach, who likely has other alternatives, is not going to be asking "How much merchandise fo they sell".

Instead, he's more likely to be asking about the do-ability of the task than the average attendance:

1. Can I win there against ACC competition? Can I do as well or better than Boeheim was doing? (Because that's the floor on the expectations)
2. What happens if I don't? How much time do I have to install my system? (How much time will it take to install my system, if it is significantly different from Boeheim's approach?)
3. How hard is it going to be to recruit given the current competitive landscape.
4. How much will I be paid and under what Terms and Conditions.
5. Will my family like it there or will my wife start complaining the day after the moving truck leaves?

Georgetown went through it's list of "Coaches we would like to have" pretty quickly, finding out --- to the shock and surprise of their fans --- that none of them wanted the job. They finally had to twist Ewing's arm to take it.

I'd say confidence in how this is going to work out is unwarranted.
