Pat C.......seems to me you are little touchy here..really. Reread my post.
First, it refers to Coach Hixon's Fall 2015 newsletter. 2nd, in your viewpoint of the SiD, maybe true IN General.....however, the SiD at Amherst does not write info on a team....evaluation / personnel wise...without a review/OK by the coach......reporting about / after a game is another matter.
Applies to the assist SID too.
Information on players, health wise, and other matters going forward should, IMO, always get a head coach review. SID are not "investigated" reporters...they are staff to the athletic department.
If you do NoT like my style, then that is another thing....we can agree to disagree on that point.

That post and this one are the kind of posts I'm referring to:

Quote from: amh63 on September 16, 2015, 01:39:55 PMAmherst's men's new assistant still has his pic missing...but his bio is available. guess Coach G has his own priorities/system.

Since I had just said something about the difference between coach and SID reported info on this board a little over two weeks ago and I couldn't tell if it had been noticed, I reiterated. (Speaking of talking without listening, right?)

That's all. Take it easy, folks. Just wanted to see an SID get some credit!

Agreed, games will be a welcome respite to the condescending tone of this:
"You keep saying these sorts of things" "I've mentioned before and will say again" In other words, "I've spoken, how can you not get it?"
This was followed by the shallow "That's all. Take it easy, folks. Just wanted to see an SID get some credit!" which only proves there is no realization, understanding or acknowledgement of how completely dismissive and condescending this was.
Yeah, let's get to some real basketball, but let's also not be so haughty that we forget how to listen, and whether we agree or disagree, not to act like this.

Man, if that's the edited form of your post, what was the original? Come on, sir, lighten up a bit. Is it necessary to be so angry?

Not angry at all. That said, have read your ongoing authoritative posts over and over ad nauseum wherein you lecture versus engage as though your authoritative position on everything is written in stone. As to lightening up, my issue is with know it alls like you, so I think you are the one who should lighten up "Sir".

I think your opinion of this conversation is extremely colored by previous conversations, and when I read back through the history, I was reminded that you have lashed out at me for things that someone else said. So perhaps you might want to reconsider. I was just trying to help amh63 understand how athletics departments work these days, since he's said some old-school things. This conversation wasn't about you.

Seriously. It was a post to amh63 and grabtherim injected himself into it with a completely different tone.

Done, and will be sure to make the same comment the next time you end up in the usual Williams/Amherst back and forth on some sort of minutia which is sure to come soon enough.

Similar comment made by him last Thursday. That said, happy to see that Dr. Ben Carson has joined this board.

36 days until basketball season starts! From the tone of the recent posts it cannot get here fast enough.

Clearly I have no life. Too old to care. As proof I offer this.
Last week I spent hours watching the Midd hoop players unofficially playing together. Happiest I've been since March.
While I'd like to share some comments, my admittance to the facility would no doubt be curtailed. Tomorrow, I hope to drag Vandy74 along.
Young Guy was there. His knowledge of the players (their whole lives, not just their game) is beyond impressive. Old Guy done real good. Kid's a keeper.
