[cltblkhscoach]

Nah not yet anyways Dash I'm watching both. Still hasn't started.

[Black]

It will be on News 14 when it starts. The stream works, but right now it's just a bunch of people talking amongst themselves waiting for it to start.

[CatNation1]

I wonder if MJ will show up

[Potato]

[Jerp]

[Zoolander]

I wonder why they always paint walls that color? Especially stone blocks...

[Wolfpackbobcat]

No MJ............

[Wolfpackbobcat]

Higgins is such a idiot.

[Potato]

aggressive, attack basketball

[Zoolander]

Why Higgins even there?

[DashGlobal]

Dunlap looks sickly..... Not that its relevant

[Potato]

if they're not in shape they're not gonna play

[Whiz Kid]

I'm liking the fact that we'll be playing more up-tempo. Sounds like a really good hire so far.

[Jerp]

Im really liking this guy

[DashGlobal]

I'm liking the fact that we'll be playing more up-tempo. Sounds like a really good hire so far.

I am much more concerned with the team playing SMART and HARD

[Wolfpackbobcat]

Higgins just wants to wave his cock around and look like hes important.

[ND22]

He is well spoken, seems to have a high intellect.

[Potato]

stressing work ethic... MKG?

[ohara831]

I like how he sounds confident in himself. Is it just me, or does he look a lot like James Woods?

[Zoolander]

He sounds really smart and confident. He's gonna need it. How is he gonna be after 10+ straight losses?

[superb1]

yes he does ^^^^^

[Wolfpackbobcat]

That public relations answer was uhh not the answer for the question asked

[cltblkhscoach]

Overall he sounded very intelligent and focused. He really touted his experience a lot and seems very confident. I think our guys will definitely have their running shoes on.

Did you guys notice when Cho was talking about practice and he mentioned actually having a plan for the guys instead of just getting shots up? Sounds like he took a shot at Silas there, because Paul was all about the guys shooting all the time....

[ohara831]

Press conf. left me feeling like we got the right coach.

[CatNation1]

I think, like some of us suspected, Silas might have been a bit too casual. over-correction from LB maybe. I think I won't have as many problems with our coaching staff lacking accountability or seeming constantly unprepared/confused this season.

[BountyHunter]

Reminded me of Ron Rivera and his intensity. I'm impressed. Think we got the right guy.

[JGib23]

Ready to see what he's got. Fingers crossed

I definitely think that was a shot at Paul Silas!

[Plowright]

Yeah but remember last year when everyone thought we would have a good running offense and Bonnell and Rochinski kept going on about it... that never ever materialised due to the players we had I think. He may talk the talk but i want to see him walk the walk

Hard to run if you can't defend or rebound... Taking the ball out of the net slows the break down ;)

[ammofan]

Mike Dunlap is the fuggin man

[superb1]

can't wait for the 12-13 season

[SJackson1]

can't wait for the 12-13 season

same here !

[ALong13]

After watching the interview, the guy seems really smart and confident. I do wonder how well he can maintain that confidence when he knows this will be a long process. He also mentioned Augustin several times...wonder if this means nothing, or if it means that cap space will be spent on retaining him? I like the fact that Maggette has reached out to him, hopefully Maggette can keep healthy for once and have a better season this year.

Overall I was impressed with the interview and press conference, but I do want to see how well the players respond to him. I just can't see Tyrus Thomas getting along too well with his demanding demeanor. Didn't like the fact that he was only going to be a "resource" in the drafting department. I know he hasn't had time to watch too much tape or see the first workout with Beal & MKG, but I do hope he gets some input with all his experience.

We'll see. Hoping for the best case, but I understand it'll be a long process to being good...Just hope I can keep the patience up. I just want to see effort this season, no more long losing streaks, and definitely no more 20+ losses!

[SJackson1]

i was impressed with Dunlap in both the press conference and his interview, he comes accros as a smart coach and he his a thinking coach.
