Yep. While it appears Pitt Associate Head Coach Barry Rohrssen is a co-leader in the clubhouse for the Seton Hall job along with Manhattan Head Coach Bobby Gonzalez, no decision will be made before the Final Four.

A Seton Hall official said yesterday Quinlan’s final decision likely wouldn’t be made until next week, with an announcement likely by mid-week. Quinlan will attend the Final Four this weekend in Indianapolis, where it’s expected he’ll scout George Mason coach Jim Larranaga.

Larranaga – a Bronx native and Providence College graduate bound to show up on other short lists – would have tremendous backing in the Big East offices, which are in Providence.

Personally, I don’t see Seton Hall stepping up with the financial package to get Larranaga to leave. But the Final Four weekend is a coach-fest. ADs, Head Coaches, Assistants and Wanna-bes descend on the place and exchange plastic smiles and pleasantries while swapping resumes and whispering numbers and gauging interest.

So, Rohrssen and Gonzalez will also be in Indy this weekend along with plenty of other prospects for Seton Hall AD Quinlan to meet and discuss.

The first-year athletic director is also interested in Ohio University’s Tim O’Shea and George Mason’s Jim Larranaga. Quinlan has not yet asked for permission to speak with O’Shea, Ohio University athletic director Kirby Hocutt confirmed last night. Quinlan will gauge Larranaga’s interest after George Mason’s magical Final Four run ends.

While Fairleigh Dickinson’s Tom Green, Monmouth’s Dave Calloway and Iona’s Jeff Ruland remain possibilities, they are long shots.
