Wojciechowski pulls name from consideration

Duke assistant Steve Wojciechowski had discussions with Dayton officials about the UD coaching job but has pulled his name from consideration, Duke spokesman Matt Plizga said today.

Wojciechowski, who has been on staff with the Blue Devils since 1999, is not attending the Final Four and has been in Durham, N.C., all week. UD Athletic director Tim Wabler has been traveling all week conducting the search for the next coach, but Plizga didn’t know whether the conversations with Wojciechowski and UD took place over the phone or in person.

Reached by phone, Wabler wouldn’t comment on Wojciechowski or other potential candidates.

The name I keep hearing from sources at the Final Four is St. Mary’s coach Randy Bennett, but he turned down Utah and hasn’t coached east of St. Louis.

I’ve also heard from a source in Houston that Bruiser Flint of Drexel is not a candidate, contrary to early reports.

Wabler has said he’s determined to protect the confidentiality of the discussions he’s had with coaches — “They’ve all got jobs,” he said — and very little information is getting out even among the coaching fraternity.
