My mistake. You're right the local talent sucks.

Glad that Tony Romar guy was fired. He was never going to win the Superb Owl with Dallas.

The Coach for Rainer H.S is a close friend. We worked together for years and played in the same team/league for years. I would love to see him Coach at Wa. He's coached a lot of NBA players over the years. Jamal Crawford and I would play down at the WA Athletic club in downtown. Jamal's Dad use to work for me. When he was drafted by the Bulls at the 8th pick first round,his Dad gave me an official press release letter head from the Chicago Bulls. Mike is a great family man and knows his x/o's. We played on the same team and won our league championship game that night. Mike had 47 points, 19 assists from me. We had the alley oop down to a science, he had springs at about 6'4".....good old days. I had my knee scoped a week later, I played that game with half my cartilage gone from a game a week before.

I really like Romar. I really didn't like the direction the program was heading. This is a great move. Romar developed A LOT of next level talent, however, that is not the objective of the program. The objective when youre the dean of pac12 coaches is to win fukin games and get in the tourney every year. NBA talent and the one and dones are a byproduct of a winning team. Who gives a schit about one and done Porter...buh bye....

Seattle is an elite recruiting base. The program will be set back a few years, but schit o' dear we are already there.

Where did say it sucked? I said it's decent. Doesn't sound like you're familiar with Indiana, Florida,CA,FL,NY,MA,KS,MI,NC,TX.......

Very cool, Duc.

When I read your post, for some reason I pictured you as Will Ferrell in 'Semi Pro'


Jackie Moon....

Don't forget Guam. They're short but they got hops like Mugsy.

Do you remember the James Edwards, Detlef schrempf era? Fun times!!

The best player ever to lace them up in this state was Elgin Baylor at my Mom's alma mater, Seattle University. My Mom was going to school during that time. I wish I could have seen him play.

I'm not a movie guy, so that doesn't mean anything to me. Good or bad? lol

Growing up as a Kid I Idolized Romar. I don't think he made it in the NBA, did he?

Played 5-6 yrs in the league

That's cool. He reminds me of Nate Mcmillan.

Don't get me wrong, I like Romar. But he hasn't been getting it done, and it was time to shake things up.

What can I say, I like winning more than I like a coach. If Donald Trump took us to the Final 4, I'd wash his balls.

" If pigs could fly "

Nooooo...think of a D Wade style player. Love contact and taking it to the paint. Damn I miss playing.

Should be a good choice, working with one of the best BB Coaches of all time.

The fact that he has been an assistant since gas prices were below $1/gal and Slo thinks it's a good call.......means.......we are fuked


The way the program was headed, this move was needed, let's hope it was the right one
