Cignetti is 65 y.o., makes $13 million a year, and is 34-3 at Indiana

Why would he leave? What is really to be gained elsewhere? You can't do better than 16-0.

I know UCLA still fancies itself as a Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, UNC in basketball, but it's just not the reality. The number of people who care about UCLA basketball is pretty small, and not growing.

Also, if we have a few years of playoff-level success and fall back to earth, I'll take it. Better than what we've seen the past 25 years.
