cd is pushing morey to hire dean cooper as his asst gm... i also heard pete babcock was in the running and that razone (?) planted his own name in the chronicle to try to drum up a salary offer that was better in detroit.
Can you give a little more info on Dean Cooper? I don't know who he is, and a quick internet search didn't yield any good info. All I got was: Dean Cooper, the photographer Dean Cooper, the British boxer and Dean Cooper, the gay p*rn star
If Cooper does get the job he will still do the same thing he does now. Morey makes all the calls and won't be taking much advice from Cooper
Dean was a head basketball coach at the University of Buffalo back in the day. Rudy brought him in in the late 90's, but I'm not sure what role he had back then. Probably video coordinator/scout... Jerry Colangelo brought him in to work under Rudy scouting for Team USA last summer, and I believe he will contnue to do that through the 08 Olympics.
Isn't CD still a consultant? I wouldn't think Morey would go into his first year as the guy without listening to someone. It needs to be someone he trusts and will listen to.
Is it socially acceptable to have 2 nicks? I've noticed several people have them. It doesn't bother me, but I'm curious. What's the advantage?
Morey isn't making these decisions in a vacuum. He's consulting scouts, assistants and Les on every move. You can count on it.
denniscd and IC2000... since you insiders are both here, let me ask this: Is Morey shopping Battier? [If that's the kind of information Morey lets people in the organization know, that is... denniscd said Morey's pretty secretive about these things]
no that was his first trade here...he really pushed all involved to make the trade. not saying he wouldnt trade him but he would never shop him
