Even if Dawkins should turn out to be the greatest basketball coach in the known universe, he wasn\'t on Bowlsby\'s list when the search began. In fact, there\'s no evidence that Bowlsby had a list. He wandered the country for a month, chatting with people who weren\'t interested or would have been absolutely insane choices. (Larry Brown? At Stanford?)

I think Bowlsby was willing to let Trent leave precisely because he did have what he considered to be superior candidates in mind to replace him, and at the top of that list was Larry Brown. Larry Brown confirmed that he had pretty much accepted the Stanford coaching position and then had a last second change of heart.

Why would Larry Brown have been such an insane choice for Stanford?
