None of the other candidates that had 2nd interviews have withdrawn meaning they don't have an answer yet and we won't know until after the SB. This is still 50/50 he could accept or he could decline.
Where there's smoke, there's fire and these report aren't popping out for no reason. So there's reservation somewhere
Think they may have gotten it wrong w/ the candidate pool, or if they got it right and it is in deed down to 2 Rizzi may remain on the staff as Assistant HC/ST's coach
