From what I have heard, the former West coach was looking like the man for the job and when that fell through it was between Shinlever and Harig. At that point, Shinlever was no longer involved in the hiring process and there was talk of him leaving administration and being in the classroom (not sure if this was BHS administrative call or if it came from higher up.) At this point, it became evident, as I stated before, that BHS was going with Shinlever, so Harig withdrew his name. So please keep laughing, for the AD did not hire himself, but rather stepped down and then accepted a position.
