My understanding is that he was working on a plan to poach some MWC schools and a WAC school went around the commish, told some other schools the plan and they got in the MWC and the WAC was left hoding the bag. If you are referencing expanding to 16, that was in the '90's and near irrelevant to his performance today.
tbh, if that truly was the plan, it was a pretty dumb ass idea. There's a hierarchy. The conference with flagship U's, BCS busters and higher athletic budgets will always trump the other. Just the fact that MWC basketball was better than the WAC at the time made this a foolish plan.
