And if UD let's them go before that, there might be a penalty they have to pay, so they are waiting it out.
Second is they are either staying or haven't made a decision.
Both are total guesses, but it also might play into why AM said he planned to announce his staff all together and therefore there is nothing coming out of IU either.
Whatever is happening, it's not the norm, so we wait to hear something.

Suppose one of the assistants really wants a HC job...but is not quite ready or doesn't yet have the exposure. And suppose that guy is one that AG really would love to keep...badly. Offer him the position of Assoc Head coach with an appropriate pay boost. Would such a happening better position a guy for a HC job if he stayed at UD rather that going to IU as an assistant? I don't know.
But I would love to see an element of continuity. This starting all over from scratch routine is not good for a program, in my opinion.
