To each his own, but I don't get that decision at all.
Some people are simply happy where they are. I'm sure Chris Peterson and Gary Patterson could get a big time gig if they wanted it, but they'd rather stay where they are.
Shaka has really made his mark on VCU, and I'm sure his family is happy there. Also the expectations aren't near what they'd be at UCLA where they might can him in 5 years if they struggle.

Coaches are prioritizing quality of life over what others determine is the ultimate achievement in a coach's career -- winning at a blue blood program. It may be Smart's ambition to build VCU into a power as opposed to winning at a historical power. Plus, the odds are against him at UCLA unless he wins a ridiculous amount of games -- Howland was canned and he reached the Final Four three times in 10 years, which isn't exactly bad.
