East Carolina isn't in a lower level. They play in the AAC with teams like UConn, Cincinnati and Memphis. Before that they were in CUSA. When Dooley coached them they were in the CAA (colonial athletic association). All three of those conferences are D1. When SS went rogue and hired Ray, Dooley was Self's top assistant helping him coach in the national championship game. At no point in time was or is Rick Ray equal or better than Dooley as a HC candidate. Hindsight doesn't have shit to do with that fact.
