Stoking Ron's Ego

[ironwill24]

What motivates arrogant men? Answer is, having their pride stoked. I suggest we send emails, letters, ect. to Ron praising him for his hire of Clawson and stating how thrilled we would be if he hired a "Clawson" of basketball. I just sent him an email stating why Clawson is a boss (young, eager, hungry, relates well to fans, has a social media presence, recruits).

I think our past response (I must admit I have done this too) of sending angry emails to Ron has obviously not worked and made him dig in more in his support of the Buzz failure. I say we heap praise on him for Clawson all the while using reverse psychology to get what we want.

I like the Clawson hire too, but I find it hard to praise someone for hiring a guy that has yet to even coach 1 game for us.

Dear Ron,

You are the man. Your awesomeness inspires me.

P.S. Just kidding. Fuck you. You suck.

You're going to poke Ron until he bursts into flame?

I like this idea.

Bz got there (and remains) by stroking something else of Ron's.

What often motivates arrogant men more is a sense of defiance when challenged and being challenged, even in the guise of praise, will be regarded as such.
