Here's basically what he said and i don't feel this is an exagerration May 1 with Bud still in charge Resseller says "I make the final decision on Sap" June 1 with Bud removed and Schelnk in charge Resseller says "Schlenk makes the final decision" Intentional or not it's hard to not read into that. But maybe Bud's cool with being just coach and didn't think he was good at the president part anyway. If we're going to nitpick, Ressler didn't say "Schlenk makes the final decision." He said "I did not bring (Travis Schlenk) in here for me to make basketball decisions." That means Schlenk can still be the one making the decisions like Bud was, but Ressler still has the final say. There's plenty of ways we can twist this. Schlenk has been around a successful club and I highly doubt he would come here if he sensed something fishy with the relationships in the organization. At least that's what I think personally. Bud seems wise enough to recognize that coaching needs to be his focus. And Bud just happened to have a graduation to attend the same day. If anything I think it's a good sign the organization shows a positive work/life balance and let him attend that. Nothing to see here folks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators macdaddy Posted June 2, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 On topic. All i'm saying is that i may be ready for Resseler to go back to being the silent owner. The "i'm the decider, I'm not the decider" "fully confident in our leadership, they've both stepped down" is at the least confusing. But hell it's better than ASG.

Um. If I may. It seems to me a legit thing to ask as JBH has... "Indeed, how many coaches have historically been there... and boiled down further, what exactly should we expect???" But I think that more boiled down question was already addressed by Ressler. That is, the more basic premise underlying telling people why the head coach isn't there (ie, because he had a graduation ceremony to attend) is that... in fact, all things being equal, on this occasion, Bud otherwise would have been expected to be there. Right? Otherwise, the answer would have been something else... something else that doesn't convey there was any expectation that he would be there, much like the question above suggests could have been the case. In fact, answering with that same question might have made a lot of sense if, indeed, there was no expectation that he would attend regardless. So connecting the final dot... If otherwise he would have been expected to be there, exactly how hard is it to schedule a press conference--given that we already waited a week, folks--at a time when there was no such time conflict??? Now c'mon. This isn't inventing drama. This is 2 + 2 = 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Peoriabird Posted June 2, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I imagine a lot of posters are going to have a problem with our new GM.. 1st of all he is an anti-tanker. Secondly, he thinks Howard is a good defensive player and thinks signing Thjr is a priority. He also wasn't certain that Sap was our best player. Lol! Regardless, what he outlined during his press conference/interviews is exactly everything I had hoped for from him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlanta Hawks: We Have No Idea What We're DoingⓇ There is no magic button here. And I'm not sure what other options to you would suggest the opposite... what, they should be trying to promote from within?... they should be hiring from more successful franchises (and if so, which)?... they should be trying to hire from less successful franchises?... they should be interviewing the most astute Hawksquawk posters and making a hire from here? Unless you embrace that last one as I do... ;)...I have no idea where you're going with that premise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
