Have personally met Adras...cool dude.
However, would not be really stoked about that hire. Plane would be going to the Flagstaff airport anyway.

Arizona StateOn April 3, 2006, Sendek accepted the head coaching job at Arizona State. While his first year record in the Pac-10 was a paltry 2-16, recruiting went well: ASU signed Jerren Shipp, a highly regarded high school guard, point guard Derek Glasser from the LA Area, and Eric Boateng, a McDonald's All-American who transferred from Duke. His second recruiting class included highly touted McDonald's All-American James Harden and point guard Jamelle McMillan (a four star recruit and the son of former NC State Basketball star Nate McMillan).
The 2007-2008 season was a great improvement over the previous season. Sendek and freshman guard James Harden led the Sun Devils to fifth place in the Pac-10 Conference, including a sweep of rival Arizona. Arizona State was rewarded with a number 1 seed in the 2008 NIT. The 2008-2009 team led by Pac-10 Player of the year James Harden improved to a 25-10 record and advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament.
[edit] Style of PlaySendek has one of the most adaptive coaching styles in the nation and is well known for tailoring his defensive / offensive strategies to the personality of his team. For instance, at NC State his teams were known for playing tenacious man defense and running an offense that ranked at the top of ACC in scoring for numerous years, while at Arizona State, due to an initial lack of talent, his early teams played a matchup zone defense and ran a methodical offense that incorporated Princeton principles. As the talent level has increased at Arizona State, Sendek has evolved the offense to feature more sets to accommodate star players like James Harden and Jeff Pendergraph, and last year implemented a free flowing motion offense that allows players more independence in making decisions. With the athletic quotient of the team much improved from previous years, Sendek has also stated that he'd like to look for more opportunities to push the ball and get easy buckets in transition.

Re: The Herb Sendek File
All kidding aside, there are a lot of worse choices than Sendek. Dude won a lot of games at NC State and look what they've done there since he left.

When Mizzou hired Anderson, the deal was done in Dallas.
When Anderson was hired away by Arkansas, it went down in Tulsa.
It's been speculated that Alden may have met with Painter in Florida over the weekend.
I wouldn't read too much into the location. It could mean anything (if it's even a relevant flight).
