Regarding the Wash U coaching situation... the longer the search process goes on, the more nervous current assistant and supposed candidate Caleb Lawson must be getting..
My opinion... and nothing against Caleb Lawson... I wonder if a top D3 program like Wash U is ready to hire a relatively young guy with NO head coaching experience... As much credit as A guy like Caleb gets for all the behind the scenes contributions he has made to Wash U's program, he has never been faced with taking direct responsibility for winning and losing games.. it's a whole different job... I would think a head coaching job anywhere else would serve Caleb Lawson's career very well... Which brings to mind Tim Whittle, who was the primary assistant at Wash U when they won two NCAA championships... He went on to take the unenviable task of coaching Macalester, and recently resigned that position with a dismal W/L record... yet, could the decision makers feel the head coaching experience there coupled with his success at Wash U might make him a candidate to consider? (Granted, I don't have any knowledge that he even applied)
