I would say that you haven't been paying very close attention...Lord_Byron wrote:Of all the posts about DD, I don't recall many that question the content of his character.
Really? I thought Lord Byron was right on. I certainly don't remember many posts, if any, that attacked Dakich's person or integrity. Most thoughts were just that his style is not working in producing a successful basketball program. But off the court, he would be someone you appreciate and love to have as a friend.Bleeding Orange wrote:I would say that you haven't been paying very close attention...Lord_Byron wrote:Of all the posts about DD, I don't recall many that question the content of his character.
I agree with Lord Byron's take, DD's character when it comes to character issues is much the same as his mentor William Montgomery's- sure they both can give hell to refs, silly interview questions and sometimes press row telephones, but they both seem to have a genuine love for the game of basketball and an old timesy, folksy regard for people- when they are accorded the proper respect.Bleeding Orange wrote:I would say that you haven't been paying very close attention...Lord_Byron wrote:Of all the posts about DD, I don't recall many that question the content of his character.

Exactly. He's an outstanding person and leader, and someone I respect greatly.hammb wrote:Dan's problems lie with the inability to put a winning basketball team on the court, not putting winning people into the world.
This is just one post about Dan that kind of angered me because coach is a good guy. A lot of people can give you the personal stories. I could even give a few...Bleeding Orange wrote:Have you guys just totally missed all of the conversations about Dakich's "manipulation of the fans" around here lateley? I certainly don't agree with this at all, and these comments may simply be born from anger, but they have been flying around here lately.
I've met coach on several occasions, and I've always gotten the feeling that he was the kind of person who would go above and beyond for his players. It is very nice to read something like this about him.
Oh, I totally think it is fair also! I just think that some people haven't fully really realized what they have been saying around here over the past few weeks (and I'm not talking about anyone in particular here). We've all been losing our cool lately. Its like I told my landlord the other day, we need to realize that we're dealing with people and not numbers...orangeandbrown wrote:Exactly.

Bleeding, I think its fair to say that these comments have captured the spirit of most of the people on this board, though not all.
I'm sorry, but that's not how it works. Don't know if you actually work, but numbers matter. A lot. The landlord probably just laughed, I assume. If he doesn't fill the apartments, he loses money and maybe his job. Believe it or not, BG actually wants to generate some revenue from the basketball program.Its like I told my landlord the other day, we need to realize that we're dealing with people and not numbers...
