“That is the one thing that’s time-sensitive,” Staton said of the basketball search. “Dave is well-positioned through his contacts, his relationships, his reputation, to really get out there and help us do that one relatively quickly.”

Although Hart’s only agreed to a short-term council role to the chancellor for now, it’s not out of the realm of possibility he could get a second look as a full-time AD at the end of his current term.

“This is the way we want to do it for right now. I don’t want to rush,” Staton said. “I can’t really answer that question today. I want to be fair to Dave. He and I have no plan, imminent or otherwise that take us to that point. I can say I’m not afraid of that conversation.
