Spring Break
The Weber State University men’s basketball season has just concluded and already head coach Randy Rahe is being contacted by other universities as possible candaites to take over their men’s basketball program.
The University of Wyoming has asked Weber States permission to talk to Rahe and Weber State has given Wyoming their blessing.
In Rahe first season as the Wildcats head coach, he turned the program around winning the Big Sky Conference Championship as well as an automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament as a no. 15 seed.
The Wildcats were unsuccessful in their quest of upsetting the no. 2 seed UCLA Bruins.
It has also been rumored that Rahe may be considered for the University of Utah as well as Colorado State University’s head coaching position.
Andrew Aragon of the Salt Lake Tribune confirmed with Rahe that Wyoming is indeed interested in his services.
After such a memorable 2006-07 season, the Wildcat faithful should be a little nervous of Wyoming’s courting of Rahe.
Wyoming is a much bigger school playing in a much better conference. Opportunities like these do not come around very often.
With only three Wildcat players leaving due to graduation and a few new players next year joining the team that can make an immediate impact according to the Wildcat coaching staff.
After Joe Cravens was fired in 2006, only two players returned to the Wildcat bench. Rahe and his coaching staff brought together a team of junior college recruits as well as other college transfers to make up what was the 2007 Big Sky Champions.
Can lightning strike in the same place twice? Sure it can, but will it? Lets hope Rahe sticks around so we don’t have to find out.
