less than reaching the playoffs. |
Maybe the team's performance up to the time he left was a factor of his health. I just don't know all those things. So, it is kind of a difficult thing to assess. We'll just wait and see. |
Mike's response was that he didn't really have to prove himself, ... So he wouldn't agree on an extension based on a performance level. And I respect his view that he felt he didn't have to prove himself. But there's also a view that coaches have to prove themselves every year. |
Monte is going to be another big game for us. Hopefully, we'll have enough left in the tank for that one. |
Our initial bias was to hire a defensive coach. |
Our No. 1 concern is his health, ... He has a contract and we expect him to coach. We have not spent one second thinking about what happens next year, we have nine games left and I hope we win our fair share. |
Our No. 1 concern is his health. He has a contract and we expect him to coach. |
Our offer is the most valuable and the most straightforward, ... Our record of performance is significantly better than Royal Bank's. |
That type of conversation is so premature. If we ever get to that bridge, we'll cross it went we get there. Really, at this point, our interest is not really in settling out Mike's contract. Our interest is that he gets well and at some point we discuss his status for next year. |
That was a total team effort. And finally, we played our kind of basketball for a full game. |
The beaches are quite low and so with this rapid sea level rise they're going to just go underwater. |
Their demands have always been considerably higher than what we expected and we just never really got close to them. |
There could be, I guess, a wide range of possibilities. No change at all. Change the whole department. Or name a new pro personnel person. I think one of those things will happen. I just don't know right now. It's still all being evaluated. |
There was a belief at that time that we didn't need the (pro personnel) process so defined, or that position so defined ... that our head coach and our scouting department would be more involved. I think now there's kind of a belief that we should have a more traditional setup where there is a director of pro personnel. And it's more clearly defined. |
