Last night, Ben Bolch of the LA Times published a very detailed story of the backstory that every Bruin basketball is interested in — UCLA’s search to replace Steve Alford.
This article is a must-read piece that anyone who followed along with the search needs to read.
In the article, Bolch has the details that many of our readers were wondering aloud in our comments during the home stretch of the search, including how close it seems like UCLA may have been to landing John Calipari. Bolch writes:
Multiple meetings between UCLA and Calipari ensued, and the Bruins eventually agreed to satisfy all of the coach’s demands, according to two people familiar with the search but not authorized to speak about it publicly.
