Barnes says buyout likely kept him from taking UCLA job

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Tennessee coach Rick Barnes believes he would be settling in as UCLA's coach right about now if buyout negotiations hadn't broken down.

Barnes' contract requires Tennessee to receive approximately $5 million if he leaves for another job with five years remaining on his deal.

An agreement couldn't be worked out. Tennessee announced on April 8 that Barnes was staying in Knoxville.
