What Gene wants (video)

Close to invective on Al: saying that we want a team that dives for loose balls, takes charges and plays great defense; a "very exciting brand of basketball," competitive against local and ACC teams and "a team that gives everything it has to give when it's on the floor." After watching this year's group, we were all saying those things. He further stated that he wants a coach and players who reflect the BC community and also high character student-athletes. It sounds like he'd back the truck up for Donahue because he fits most of those categories (except for the "very exciting" part but maybe Cornell's offense is more a reflection of the players he could get in the Ivy League).

First the recruits and now Gene is reading this board?

Guys, we need to be careful.

Gene D did the right thing for BC and BC Basketball and I am not upset to see Al go. BUT, I hate it when someone like Gene fires some one and tells you how difficult it is for them (the person doing the firing). I always liked the Chandler Bing method of firing someone, knock knock, who's there?, you're fired. Quick and easy, no hard feelings.

The part about the brand of basketball leads me to believe no Coen. And that video really got my hopes up, I hope they aren't crushed.

Sorry if I missed it, but does anyone have a link to a video of the press conference?

[EagleDave]

WEEI has the full video up on their website...though I'm entirely too lazy to go and link to it...

[CrownRoyal]

Great. Thanks, EagleDave.

Did Gene just recycle Gingerbot's "champions in the bleep, on the blorp, and in the bloop" line?
