Apparently Stansbury contacted Billy Donovan about the situation.

What to do about thinking ofleaving a place you've been at for a while. Guess I didn't think Stansbury and Donovan were the best of friends. Would have loved to have heard the awkward minute of conversation before they got down to business. Surprised Stansbury didn't call Slive to see what he thought....</p>

Why wouldnt they get along... Both are the Senior coaches in the league and are in different division...and we typically arent after the same recruits

But this does confirm one thing though...Rick is not leaving unless he is retired or fired.

Donovan contacted Stansbury.

Dawgbreeze and Donovan gave him the Ys and Ynots of staying at MSU.

Billy D's number 1 reason was to keep the competition level high in the West.
