Hoopscoach,
In the last two years I have had some interesting experiences with Metro schools. I applied to one school and was contacted by their principal four hours later. We talked for 20 minutes on the phone and since I was out of town at the time he set up a phone interview for noon two days later. He never contacted me again... lol
I was also contacted by an AD this year who wanted me to interview. Three days later I was told they were going in another direction....smh
It is who you know around here. Records, accolades and reputation for an outsider mean nothing.
In fairness, it seems to be who you know almost everywhere...
