There are certainly some contradictions about UCLA and Smart.
According to this report, UCLA refused to even interview him if he signed an extension with VCU:
In recent years, Smart, 35, has chosen to remain at VCU amid openings at North Carolina State and Illinois, among others. The person said UCLA would not interview Smart if he signed an extension with VCU.
VCU coach Shaka Smart passed up the chance to discuss the UCLA and Minnesota jobs, opting instead to sign a contract extension that reportedly goes until 2023 and increases his salary from $1.2 million to $1.5 million.It's unclear whether UCLA or Minnesota would have offered Smart if they had the chance, but either could have easily exceeded Smart's new $1.5 million salary if they did so.Comment
