Moonzzz hatred for Dino appears to be genuine.

btw, is Deacfreke getting protection here? He was so far up [Redacted]'s ass that [Redacted] asked him to check for polyps.

Yeah, he hated Dino, but I'm not sure when/if he liked [Redacted] at all. Even if Moon said so here about when he truly gave up on him, I'm not sure I would believe it.

If Moon hands me a plate of food and says that it is pasta, I'm going to check under the sauce to make sure. :thumbsup:

When Jeff Goodman broke that rumor from out of nowhere that we were close to hiring [Redacted], I believe I was the 2nd or 3rd post on that thread and my take was that it was total bullshit. I did not believe there was any way Wellman would be targeting [Redacted]. I think I said something about how Goodman looked like the 4th Manning brother who Archie kept chained in the basement. Wasn't until another poster confirmed that the rumor was true that I could begin to believe it.

While [Redacted] was never on the list of guys I wanted to see on the Wake sideline, once the hiring was announced, I did think perhaps it was crazy enough to work and that the marriage of [Redacted]'s purported Xs and Os mastery with Battle's recruiting could lead to a team of smart and talented basketball players. I also thought that Dino was a pretty terrible head coach for basically losing his team 3 years in a row and that virtually anyone would be an improvement.

Obviously, the [Redacted] Era has sucked. I don't think it is entirely his fault, as there have been several bad things happen that are outside his control (e.g., the only PG on the roster breaking his foot in the 1st game of the 2010-11 season), but I do think he's the wrong guy for Wake Forest basketball at this time. That said, I don't bitch about it here, because I'm a pragmatist and know that he's most likely going to be the basketball coach for at least another year or 2. Thus, all the outraged "Bzz Out" posts after every single game are, IMO, for now, basically a waste of time. All I can really do is watch the games (or at least as much as I can stomach) and hope I'm very wrong and that things will eventually improve.

I also can't get behind attacking [Redacted] personally, because I don't know the guy. I suspect he's working hard and doing the best he can. Most of the insiders have reported that he's a decent guy who works nonstop and takes the losses very hard. He's failing, but I don't think it's because he's a bad guy, just as Jim Caldwell wasn't a dick because his teams couldn't win football games.

So there you go. The longest post I've ever made about [Redacted].

Yeah, the quality of the scan isn't top notch, unfortunately.
 
Did I post anything? I would also be interested in what that tool 81Deac had to say.
 
April 2010 was such a simpler time. Right now I am reading a thread where we are all so happy that Travis McKie said he was leaning towards staying.

"Everything I read about McKie makes him seem like a great kid. Just seems like a smart, thoughtful, engaging guy. I'd love to teach a kid like him."

"You're a smart young man, Travis. It is the right move taking your time and re-evaluating the situation. That being said, Wake loves you and you will do great here!"

We were thinking about buying a "BZZZ" costume. That's cute.

In April how would anyone have known about:

Woods being arrested.

Tony C being hurt.

Ari having a concussion and the other problems he had.

Melvin being a slug and never getting in shape.

JTT missing most of preseason with a broken hand.

But keep on acting like all those things didn't happen.

this actually helped the team last year
 
Thank you Stonz:

"He is extremely well known in basketball circles. How many NBA assistant coaches can you name? The casual basketball fan probably can't name any, but the top assistants in the NBA (a group [Redacted] was long a part of) are some of the best basketball minds out there, and are incredibly well-respected by people who know basketball."
