I hope someone attends armed with rotten produce.

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

is he resigning already?

[Reverend Mike]

Such a mickey mouse operation. These idiots don't know that the audio is broadcasting as they do all the mic checks.

Now they are talking about their bracket picks and charging their cell phones. Dropping f-bombs along the way. Totally professional and top notch.

Now they are talking about a colleague who has depression.

[Reverend Mike]

"Do we need to get Gene DeFilippo down here to sort this shit out?!"

Hahahaha.

I demand that an enterprising student reporter attend and ask questions thusly:

"Coach Wright, can you talk a little about how your previous experiences as a head coach have prepared you for this job at BC? What? Oh, sorry, Coach Christian. Sorry about that, just a brain fart. Still, same question."

"Coach Wright, it's no secret the ACC has improved an already strong basketball conference. Right, sorry again. Coach Christian. Coach, how much do you think the level of competition at BC and in the ACC will differ from what you're used to?

"This question is for Coach. Coach, I know it's been a while, but when you were in that game in the tournament and it was going down to the wire for a spot in the Elite Eight, did you ever think you'd have a chance later to take the other school to the Elite Eight? Follow up question: were you surprised how easy that out of bounds play was? Another quick follow up: do you still think that was goaltending?"

"TELL US WHERE THE TREASURE IS BURIED, WRIGHT!"

I am having Spring Game-like difficulties gaining access to the Live Stream. Looks like I will have to wait until they reload it. Any interesting updates (like Fogler storming in and taking over the presser as if he was the Mouth of the South) would be appreciated.

[Onyx Blackman]

Reason No. 1 is that he wants to be here. Fantastic.

#4: his wife was willing to take care of the luggage at the airport

[Onyx Blackman]

#4: A history of coaching successful teams. No, just kidding, it's fit.

[DavidGordonsFoot]

Oh my god, he has a gimmick, "The Identity Board."

[HJS]

Is #4 that he offered to take Fogler out to Capital Grille???

They had a freaking week to prepare. This is the best Bates can do?? How many times has he talked about student development?

[apbc12]

"I got here and got off the plane and went straight to meet the players."

And then 20 minutes after that, Anderson announced he would leave? Promising!

[Reverend Mike]

Oh my god, he has a gimmick, "The Identity Board."

It's a lot like the game "Jump" to "Conclusions" but not as well thought-out.

[BCEagles25]

Bruce Pearl got off a plane and into a crowd of raucous fans. Jim met 3 students!

[HJS]

Please tell me that in referring to fit, Christian called BC his "dream job".

bingo.

[HJS]

Yeah... but I bet he'd have more fans lining up to try and drown him in a dunk tank.

[QuailMan]

What is more motivating the energy eagle or the identity board?

[angrychicken]

Is he wearing a sport coat? If so, how many buttons does it have?

[commavegarage]

interesting he mentions Lonnie Jackson not hanlan.

[HJS]

bingo.

If he really said that, Bates must think the entire fanbase is entirely composed of retired alums who wear whalepants and wheeled oxygen tanks. Honestly, no one born after 1969 gives a crap on whether or not the coach will never leave BC... heck mosy born after 1969 WANTS a coach that doesn't look at BC as a destination.

[eepstein0]

interesting he mentions Lonnie Jackson not hanlan.

Hopefully transferring?

[eepstein0]

For the record he does seem to get the whole recruiting thing, unlike the previous coach.
