According to the Spokesman Review, the search for a new head basketball coach might be tougher than the Eagles thought it would be...

"Never in a thousand years," former Eagles coach and current Gonzaga assistant Ray Giacoletti said Thursday about his interest in the job. "The way they just dealt with this thing, I'm trying to pick my words. No! Never!"

When you look at the stability of leadership at Whitworth College, that's what every coach wants in a job and I have that.

"Leon Rice, another Gonzaga assistant, answered a question about his interest with a question: "Why?" "
