However, just over two weeks ago, before the results of the voting were announced, Gaines decided to remove himself from contention, citing salary and family reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Presumably, Gaines\u2019 withdrawal left Neuburger, the other finalist, as the most likely choice of the Search Committee.  Apparently the ISHOF Executive Board has been negotiating with Neuburger for the past two weeks and an official announcement appears to be imminent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Phillip Whitten FORT LAUDERDALE, April 19.
