  But according to UWGB's athletic director, Ken Bothof, letting the public in on the process of hiring someone at the school is not new.
  
  "It's how most of our university hires are done, in terms of even faculty positions within the leadership team of the university," Bothof said Tuesday.
  ...
  Bothof said he had not planned at the start of the search to include the public component, but decided to include it as the process unfolded.
  
  "It just kind of depends on the search itself," Bothof said about the use of the public component."We actually did it five years ago with the hiring of (men's basketball) coach (Tod) Kowalczyk as well."
  
  Bothof said conducting a portion of the interviews in public helped engage the community that is going to be affected by the hire.

  UWGB athletics director Ken Bothof said he "wanted more time" because after Johnston, he thought "it was more wide open."He also wanted to involve the team, because he said "they felt left out of it" during the courtship of Johnston.
  
  It's hard to fault UWGB for Johnston's decision to back out.It wasn't like he came to town and found something was amiss.

  UWGB athletics director Ken Bothof is expected to speak with the coaches in that group - along with perhaps a few others among the 10 to 15 people he's talked with during the process - in a search that likely won't last long.He does not expect to seek any candidates who had not expressed interest already.
  
  "I think we'll go back and see where we are," he said.
  ...
  Bothof expects the search to change a bit, with more candidates being brought to UWGB.
  
  "The people that were in the pool, if you looked at them and met with them, were very strong candidates and brought a lot to the table," Bothof said."They would have been successful here.
  ...
  Bothof asked him if he wanted more time to think about it and gave him the option of taking a plane later in the evening.
  ...
  Bothof was disappointed with the decision, but never attempted to talk him out of it.
  
  "As soon as you make that leap of saying I'm not sure I'm interested, then you're not interested," Bothof said.
