Look at it from this point of view, oscar is good enough to keep himself afloat, he will have no where to go if we dump him to the curb. Look at this from ADGT's point of view. He probably thinks Bill is a sure fire to retire within the next 5-10 years. I honest to god think that ADGT will do everything in his power to make the right football hire before he even thinks about a basketball hire. Hiring within for Basketball would be an absolute nightmare because all of those dudes that have been associated with this regime of Basketball. If I were him, I would ride Oscar out til his contract expires, avoid the buyout and look at what he has brewing. If it is worth a one year extension then give him a shot. If not look to see where up and coming guys, Richard Pitino and Earl Grant type guys are when Oscar's contract expires.
What i'm trying to say is that ADGT is trying to hold off as long as possible on making a splash with a basketball hire. I would be surprised if the Basketball hire comes before the football hire.
