I listened start to finish. When JB and others on this board bring up Warrick it really gives me chills and not good ones.  Enough.  And this is coming from a huge Hak fan.  The Hodge/ Hak scenario was a decade and a half ago.

In general, JB sounded like a mix of blatantly defensive and frustrated (below the surface).  His recruiting rankings were hysterically skewed.  In most cases, they weren't even close.  He's sounding delusional.  I think he knows we are getting slapped around and he doesn't want to admit it and he doesn't want lose the fans.  He knows there are a lot of people who are by his side no matter what and take his word as gospel.  To me, he came off like a politician more than a coach.

A few specific things I found interesting.  It sounds like he views Moyer and Brissett as 3's.  I'm terrified how much he's pumping up Chukwu.  With him listing PC and Sidibe as our centers, perhaps we try to make Thompson a 4. Hmm.  I like that it sounds like he really likes Howard Washington, since I like HW a little more than most around here do.  JB pumping up Hughes came off really hyperbolic.

I like JB supporting the players but he needs to pump the brakes a little. Guess he didn't learn anything from saying last year's team/ roster was one of his best ever.
