Sounds awful but pretty sure the guy was being sarcastic.

 

[Gilthorp57]

I’m surprised. He also was hacking away like he has tuberculosis.

Dan didn't look too good....

Yeah, when I first read it I didn't know whether to hate the guy (if it's his real opinion) or love the guy (it's pretty funny if he's being sarcastic).

Well done.

Unless their is a perfect fit as an NCAA Head Coach opportunity for him, I wonder if leveraging a contact for an NBA Asst gig would appeal to Monson.

Does JB Bickerstaff have a management gig somewhere now?

JB is HC of the Cleveland Cavs.

 

[Holy Man]

JB is HC of the Cleveland Cavs.

Likely with some hiring authority. Nice gig for Dan if he can get it.

I wonder if Monson will get a look at Washington St? Hard to tell, with their AD just taking the Washington gig.

Big brain thinking.

Not alone though:

Five potential candidates to replace Kyle Smith as head coach at Washington State

PULLMAN – Washington State is entering a new era, and not just because the program is headed to the West Coast Conference next season. The Cougars are looking for a new head basketball coach to replace Kyle Smith, who bolted for the job at Stanford.

They still use that song?? As if this is still kids competing for their schools or something?

They should replace it with rap music.

Why?

 

[gopheraddict]

Why?

Like the song, but not the current rendition.

 

[EasyThere Pilgrim]

Why?

It's too nice of a song. As if these are underdog kids rising up for the love of their school.

Rap music matches better for the state of 'college' basketball today.

May as well just put the highlights up with Slayer’s “Raining Blood” at this point.

Well I don't want to be too harsh.

Maybe 'Forever In Blue Jeans' by Neil Diamond can be the Gophers theme song.

 

[Spottedmuskie]

Will he join CBJ as an assistant? Maybe we could snag Juwan Howard as well?
