I'd love to see what he could do at like a North Carolina or ucla. Probably wouldn't even be fair.
I've heard his name attached to big jobs in the past. I guess he is just happy or maybe has a very specific dream job. Guy is worth every bit of 5 mil a year.
He didn't say anything, it's being blow out of proportion. He was asked immediately following the game why they didn't continue to foul with 10 seconds left. He then walked away from the interviewer. A big deal being made out of nothing.

Didn't they make a 25 footer at the buzzer to get out of the 1st or 2nd round? Just goes to show that sometimes teams just need to survive and then they settle down to play well.
He basically ignored the question he was asked about letting the last 8 seconds run off when they were down 4 instead of fouling.

Well, so far it's playing out close to the narrative, which was that the Big 12 was really good top to bottom, but didn't have a team capable of winning it all. Still, 3 in the Elite Eight tells me that with a couple breaks, maybe they did.
Media sensationalization at it's finest
He released a statement about how he should've handled the interview better. He must've gotten too much backlash.
It was a legit question. They should have fouled with 11 seconds left and it’s baffling that they didn’t.
Not to mention the annoying barrage of media patting Dana Jacobson on the back for being "strong". They're asking a coach questions moments after he lost, and they're appalled when they receive a curt answer? I don't get the weeping and gnashing of teeth over this issue. The sports media's grasp on competitive human behavior or emotion over the last few years is curious at best. They seem to want many different things at the same time. When players/coaches say what's really on their mind, they're considered loose cannons, unprofessional, arrogant, immature. See the media backlash on Monte Morris' comments after the 2016 Iowa game. Then the flip side, when they go full Belicheck (sp?) or Kirk Ferentz, the media goes on a soapbox about needing to be the conduit to the fans and they need to do their job and that guardedness is preventing them from doing so.
