Haith going all in on the transfers was all about him getting a contract extension. He knew that fans didn't like his hire. I have to wonder if he would have taken a different approach, now seeing how things ended.

I also think he gets that extension if Dixon wasn't kicked out of school. That second team would have won close to 30 game with Dixon and Bowers healthy all season

Alden wanted him gone after the Miami stink and five game suspension. After Quin, it seems Alden's primary purpose for the basketball program was to avoid NCAA entanglement. He ran scared and wanted to get rid of Haith. He figured he could dump Haith after the fourth season, but Haith is more clever than Alden and jumped to Tulsa.

I wonder, too. But I think Haith was just Haith. I don't think he is able to long-range plan. He's just trying to make it to next year every year.
