Never knew this

Was looking at an article about Fred Snowden's college coaching career (he was hired at Arizona in 1972 and quickly became successful until flaming out about eight years later). Of course, the facilities were changing much for the better in Tucson and surely there was a difference in salaries.

"...Most new coaches are quick to speak about “changing the culture” at their new school; Snowden changed the identity of Arizona basketball. He said he declined a chance to be San Jose State’s head coach a year earlier, saying he preferred to wait for a better opportunity..."

Between 1971 and 1972 was the transition from Danny Glines to Ivan Guevara and head coach. Not sure who was the AD.

At some point in Guevara's tenure, SJSU played home games at Independence High.
