Some interesting stuff here. Seems like a dude that can identify talent. Lost a guy to Tony who's his starting point guard. There is another kid that he recruited to Columbia that is going to be a grad transfer at SC this year. Shot 44% from 3.

Also, sounds like he's going to get his system that he had at San Francisco, but time frame is unknown.

Then there is Grippi's somewhat smart-ass take. He's starting to remind me of blanchette. Talk about Dick flipping off the mutt fans? Check. Talk about Dick's "horrible" 3 seasons? Check. Although they weren't that horrible. Attendance doubled in the first year (as did wins), we pulled off several stunning upsets, you could see the light almost immediately. Maybe WSU should just revoke all Spokesman writers' press credentials except for Theo. The other guys can buy a ticket if they want to come watch the Cougs in FB. Or any sport.

Yeah the stunning upsets were amazing. I totally agree with your last statement but it will happen anyhow soon with the paper announcing a doubling of price the other day. No one reads it anyhow.

So nobody is going to the games so we are going to punish them by doubling the prices? Kind of the opposite of 'that place is too popular, nobody goes there anymore.'

Grippi was a Wulff/Bonehead groupie. Some writers (and fans) attach themselves to losers.

I think I read this as, the paper was going to double their prices... Not tix to a BB game.
