DobbsRover2: Some of us are capable of reading.
Perhaps, but I'm having a hard time accounting for the misunderstandings/misreading of what I wrote. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough, happy to elucidate.
Sorry, Chicago, no job, no ambition, no ulterior motives:
73, retired, shoot hoops, watch woman's BB, ski, sail, do some volunteer work for homeless kids and write a monthly column for the WestView News, mostly on Music.
Never said I was a sports reporter.
Never identified myself to the Engeln's as a reporter at all, I supplied the complete text of my E-mail to he board, seems clear to me.
But I must admit to being interested, from time to time, in what it feels like to sit at the end of the bench and nor receive meaningful playing time (not taking into account whether deserved or undeserved). I mused about that last season, mentioned it on the board a few time as I recall and with the advent of social networking, in which everyone seems to want to tell all, thought it was not unreasonable to pose the question I did. Obviously many disagree.
I also enjoy sticking pins into the views of some here, whose reverence and hero worship for Geno seems to approach religious zealotry. In my past life, I worked with some of the heroic conductors of an almost bygone age: Bernstein, Levine, Previn et al and along with myself (who made more mistakes than most), these gentlemen all had warts, said and did dumb, things and even were known to apologize.
I love and respect Geno, love the program and especially love how he teaches these splendid young woman to play classical BB and to comport themselves graciously on and off the court
But, like everyone else in public life, he will occasionally say a dumb thing and it is certainly within our mandate (and not disloyal) to call him out on it.
Join with those expressing an end to this thread.
