Probably not. But some people may think otherwise, so here's the case that those people are wrong.
The Vanderbilt Commodores conducted their search for a new men's basketball coach with a similar level of secrecy to the CIA. It was so secret, in fact, that some people who cover the team (myself included) were surprised to learn Monday morning that not only had former Valparaiso head coach Bryce Drew been offered the job, but he was prepared to accept it.
While secrecy can be frustrating for fans, the absence of a lot of leaks worked to Vanderbilt's advantage.
