Thinking about it more, I'm sure he made the wise decision. USF is down to 8 players, maybe less, and it would (will) likely take at least a few years to get back to competitive status in the AAC and a chance at an NCAA berth. At Akron the chance to win the MAC tourney is there every year, even if not a top seed going in. If the progress at USF was inadequate after 3-4 years and he's let go, he might be done for good at this level. At Akron he can likely stay as long as he wants. The extra money in the AAC would have been nice for him but he doesn't really need it and in the long run the additional security at UA is probably worth more.
