I think Berman incorrectly called her COO. This year’s media guide lists her as Chief Revenue Officer. https://www.nba.com/resources/static/team/v2/rockets/Rockets202021MediaGuide.pdf and fwiw: there wasn’t a COO, nor CFO, nor was there a President of Business Operations. Tilman created a new title for Sheirr. Before Tilman, Les did have a CFO, who was her boss — Marcus Jolibois. Maybe he’ll send her to the lotto, and if she wins, she becomes CEO.
Sports teams often do not have someone managing both the Basketball Operations and Business Operations, aside from the owner. We have an insider! Come on, tell us, who leaves you the shittiest tips at the Men’s Grill?
FWIW, it wasn't just Berman, that's what the team's press release says (that she was promoted from COO to President of Business Operations): https://www.nba.com/rockets/news/rockets-promote-gretchen-sheirr-president-business-operations
Yea this would have been really bad and stupid. Glad it didnt pan out that way.. also having a female up high is a great move from Fertits
Bro, do you even belong to a country club? Most high end country clubs do not even allow tipping, rookie. Grat is included automatically after you fill out your chit.
Though Brown held the title CEO, that is not expected in the current structure with Fertitta the CEO of Fertitta Entertainment, which includes the Rockets. Brown was part of basketball side strategies and in many recruiting efforts, but Sheirr said that will not be part of her responsibilities beyond “supporting Rafael (Stone, the Rockets general manager) on the basketball side.” “We’re going to make sure we’re representing the Rockets and the city of Houston,” Sheirr said of being involved in free-agent recruiting. “If I can add value there, I’m certainly happy to do that. But I don’t see that needed in the short term from me. The Fertittas (Tilman and Patrick,) obviously, that’s their strong suit.” https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-nation/rockets/article/Rockets-Gretchen-Sheirr-president-operations-16188676.php
