OK Guys,
So we have a thread with 253 replies. Pretty crazy for one job. I believe an awards ceremony is in order!
I am sitting here with an embarrassing amount of time amount and energy this morning so I decided to give a quick thought and then some stats on this thread. I work better with numbers to understand things.
-First off my 2 cents – Obviously there is some sticky stuff going on with this job. I do wonder why Rich (Will not be calling Rich “the doctor”) would want it at this point as he has some great things going at HMB. At the same time he is an extremely competitive individual and has maybe hit a ceiling there and wants a new challenge. I like others recognize his ability as one of the better tacticians in norcal. The job he did to build HMB from the ground up has been remarkable.
-Second – If you guys didn’t know I am pretty sure PAL95 is talking about Sean MacKay (formerly San Leandro). I could be wrong. He also would do a heck of a job there is another really good guy and good coach. Just depends on what they are looking for. Both guys are high level candidates and would win for most jobs.
Now for the people that have kept this conversation moving as long as it has.
1DNA - 55 posts! 21.7%! You have over one of every 5 posts on this topic. Either you have some serious stake in this decision or you have more time than I did to make this ridiculous post. Either way great job with the commentary and playing devils advocate. Even trolling multiple users. Well done! YOU WIN THREAD MODERATOR!
IRISH CHEERS – 31 posts – 12% - Your passion for SHC has been unwavering on this board so I commend you for your consistency good sir! If we could all have people like you in our athletic communities we would be lucky for it! I hope you are pleased with the ever so anticipated “Decision”
PAL95 – 24 Posts – Almost 10% - Came in a little later in the game. Brought some intrigue to the process and the possibility of another horse in the race. I assume your guy is MacKay. If it is…He’s a great guy and I wish him the best of luck. You brought great uncertainty and intrigue!

Jordan24 – 13 posts – Hovering around 5% Jordan also brings a great perspective. A long time poster that has been a bit more dormant from say about 6-7 years ago. Jordan I also thank you for your strong city hoops perspective! If you are who I think you are…you have a very good feel Great Knowledge.

however this is a a different type of helicopter parent than what he's dealt with in HMB. I believe you can be a players coach and still have the respect of parents. As for getting kids to SHC it will be money first and then the style of coaching. As someone alluded to in a previous post Rich is not exactly PC on the sidelines. Its what makes him the Doctor lol that too could factor into their decision. Take a step back and think outside the box. As for those in the League who may not want him back, maybe those are the coaches who would realize their offense and defense is about to be dissected in film and exploited on the floor. Whatever the choice is, I hope they make a selection soon. This thread has over 10K views for gods sakes. Bad publicity is good publicity?
