No, just expressing my opinion, just as you expressed your, and disagreeing with some of your comments. You're responding to some of the nonsense that's been printed while I have a little more information than you do.

I didn't realize that you were there when Doherty was interviewed for the job.

No, I wasn't but this announcement was made when the press conference was held to annmounce his hiring. Their were also questions asked by reporters concerning the asst. coaches being released. So, yes, I know for a fact that this was addressed prior to his hiring.

I don't care if Smith is selling candy bars as a fundraiser, he's still around. it can't help. That's an awfully large shadow to work under.

Well, I guess the next guy better decide if he can tolerate that or not because the man damn sure ain't going anywhere.

I realize he turn people off inside the athletic department. (I think that's what I said.) But, overall this wasn't handled properly. And anyone who thinks it was is wearing carolina blue colored glasses.

I don't disagree that it wasn't handled properly. It was handled as poorly as the original Roy Williams debacle was. For those reasons and others, Dick Baddour needs to be the next one to go. But the fact remains that a change needed to be made.
Take a look at the article below. I think it backs up a lot of what I wrote this morning.

For whistleone:
Larry Brown was not "too happy in the NBA." He wanted the job and was Smith's second choice after Roy Williams. But Baddour didn't want Brown, so Larry politely said no thank you.
