Doesn't seem odd to me. His team is still playing in the NIT. Once their season is over, I expect him to take the job (he would say he's not interested if he was declining it). This one will hurt...I don't want to see Mad Dog on a weenie sideline.

I agree that it is to be expected that he would not accept the offer while his current team is still playing. What I think is odd is that only the Chronicle is reporting he has been offered, at least AFAIK. Si just cited that report. I kind of would expect others would have checked their "sources" and reported it as well, if indeed the offer has been made. There are lots of reports today that he is the top candidate, including the Mercury, but not yet saying he has been offered.
