Sbum – I agree with TMH, you being 24/25 years old is the shocker of all shockers, for some reason I had you pegged for 50’s!!!
Regarding Griffin hire, I just give benefit of the doubt to Reed on this one, I mean it is not like he “rushed” into the hire!!!! KIDDING cause I care. But I do have my questions, as Griffin is a young kid, and although he planned hoop group events, how much real coaching or life experiences does he have to share with the players? How many contacts and how deep could those contacts be after having only worked there for a year or two. I guess those are my big concerns, I’m also not sure how he is more qualified than Knight to be an assistant, as Joe was the superior player and played overseas for a full years, and wore the uniform….all sellable assets in recruiting.
However, this kid is probably an up and comer in coaching circles and has contacts, and Reed must like him so I’m fine with it.
