Not sure why he would lie about it. I think it is probably true.

Coaches have huge incentive to stretch the truth in these situations.. You want to make yourself look as sought after as possible. Tubs was notorious for that.

I have no doubt in my mind that he was contacted about the possibility, but I don't believe for one second he was actually offered the position.
