Ultimately we need those sides to get along, but there seems to be a lot of butt hurt from the Pasternack camp. I get the disappointment, I just wish their was this level of angst for letting a much better candidate, Gates, get passed on repeatedly. It’s an old boy’s club at the end of the day.
I'm actually a little surprised JP didn't get the gig. Knowlton (and Kliavkoff, as you gotta think there was at least a conversation) apparently prioritized increasing diversity in the hire...what's going to happen if Pasternack, AAR and Stan Johnson are all passed over...
Had he not held onto Fox for a fourth year, JK wouldn’t have had to worry about it. But Fox received such a longer leash than Wyking did, the optics are just hard to ignore and they are now pressed to make a correction. I still think AAR is the best candidate regardless of whether he is black, blue, red or white, or whether he is tight with the old blues network. Turn the page.
Don’t say that. I’m actually done with MBB if that’s the case. We can’t possibly blow this so royally three times in a row. I don’t know how he can convince the big money to go with Stan Johnson or anyone else besides AAR at this point.
Oh I agree…I want AAR. It’s just some rumbling I’m hearing about the sizable influence a certain revered former HC/ local personality has on the buffoon. Faraudo wrote about it in one of his articles recently, too.
Agreed, P. Why did it take 3-29 to get people excited.
Maybe the NIL changed things...it certainly made the big $ guys even more valuable.

I agree. AAR was arguably the best of all candidates.
I am not expecting him to be the hire, however….unfortunately.

Sigh.
