Gerry Staff Predictions…

[jdubs30]

As a general statement I am so thrilled. I was mentally prepared for Blackwell and AO being 2 of his top guys. My best case scenario was those 2, Lee then 1 additional “non family” hire.

Extremely happy that the first announced hires were Daly and Brunt. Still adding Lee. I gotta assume AO is involved somehow ..

He wasn’t a prolific shot blocker.

How many blocks did Bernie Fine have? /s

Just need to point out that AO fell about 2 inches from my foot at MSG Big East Tournament. I kept telling him to get up. He was fine. But he wasn't. Obviously I was sitting in the first row. That is my AO story and claim to fame.

If only you had done this in time, we would have another banner in the rafters.

If it wasn’t for that injury we were on our way to a title

I’m not sold on AO. I desperately want to be wrong.

But in he’s a legit big man coach. He made up for his physical limitations by learning and playing smart. He will get it done.

Great point. Those who can’t play, TEACH!!! Write it down.

Gerry thinks AO is a genius at teaching big men. Really. And he has worked with him. After what we have had for big men coaches, I will happily sign up for that.

And Gerry saw what Bernie Fine did for our big men so he had a comparison too. AO also trained with Fine who was considered a top big man coach.
