SACRAMENTO, Calif. - That didn't take long. Weber State coach Randy Rahe confirmed that Wyoming athletic director Tom Burman has contacted Wildcats athletic director Jerry Graybeal and asked for permission to speak with him about the school's head coaching position. A meeting has yet to be arranged between Burman and Rahe, but it could happen fairly quickly.
"I have not spoken to them yet," Rahe said.
"Supposedly, some time in the near future I am. I haven't even thought about it. We had this game here today. We'll see what happens."
Rahe could be viewed as a hot commodity in the region after leading Weber State to a dramatic turnaround in his first season as a head coach.
The Wildcats improved by nine wins and went from worst to first in the Big Sky.
In addition to Wyoming, Rahe could be a candidate at Colorado State and Utah. He has worked as an assistant at both schools. Rahe said that Wyoming is the only school to contact Graybeal so far.
Better start, same result
Rahe was an assistant at Utah State when it played UCLA in a second-round NCAA Tournament game in 2001. In that game, the Aggies missed 22 consecutive shots in the first half.
Weber State got off to a better start against the Bruins, as guard Juan Pablo Silveira made the first basket of the game to put the Wildcats up, 2-0. "We actually made one early and I just thanked God we did," Rahe said.
It was another cold spell by Rahe's team, however, that played a key role in his team losing to UCLA. After Silveira made a three to get Weber State within 15-14, the Wildcats failed to score on four consecutive possessions and UCLA converted on the other end all four times.
"You can't overcome that," Rahe said. "They're just too good."
Dunkin' David
Weber State forward David Patten made one basket in the game and it came with 39 seconds remaining. He got the ball on a run-out and made a reverse jam.
Patten said he wasn't showboating. It was his way of dealing with how disappointed he was in his play.
"That was a little frustration I had for all the mistakes I made in the game," he said.
