Young, african-american, no track record of mediocrity, not obsessed with the state of Indiana, etc. I'd imagine his chances at success at higher than [dead].

Taj79 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Could be good young hire. Geedubya one of most expensive schools in USA. Large, electic international flavor. Predominant foreign recruiting tack. Larsen. Watanabee. Kopriva. Mensah-Bonsu. Going to be inyeresting. Joseph also Canadien. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I propose a new Billikens.com rule. Anytime some uses the term (Trigger warning!) "Interim coach", they should provide a Trigger warning for those of us still recovering from our former coach's tenure. Use my example as a template. Thanks in advance.

JettFlight5 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Judging from our experience, this has major backfire potential. Good luck to GW on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a Canadian, we don't see colour We do recognize his Trini blood/roots though... Seriously though, that he's black and 31 does not *automatically* mean he can "relate" to inner city American kids. His culture and upbringing is so far removed from that lifestyle - unless the average kid in East Stl speaks french and enjoys a spicy curry goat every now and then...

I really have / had no idea about Joseph's background. My point was the Crews could not relate to young basketball players (of any color) at all (with the possible caveat of those coming from the state of Indiana). Comparing the two because they both happened to be interim coaches is stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
