Awesome thread.
"Try the veal, ...best in the city".
wellman is the smartest guy in the room. to admit to anyone he is going to fire bzz screams "i made a mistake." the only way bzz is gone (And not extended) after this season is for bzz to "resign." he (and his minions) has to keep up the charade. IF bzz has success (NCAA birth, ACC Tourney or NIT run) that is best for wellman. he can claim victory and probably extend bzz.
What the OP shared is right in line with the exit strategy that is most likely to occur. Of course, as noted above, RW wouldnt say anything differently right now, in public or otherwise.
Nope. I hope it was at least 5x more interesting than this story though.
