    ah i see now.

    hankins has been sitting next to jody and kolde since the announcement at home games and mcgowan had already effectively removed all blazer items on his social that day itself.

    while the transition might officially happen on the 26th, i don't see it as anything more than a formality. think it's unrelated to the olshey probe.

    I think that they didn't want a lame duck CEO choosing the interim President of Basketball Operations/GM or both individually. On the other hand maybe McGowan was pushing for Olshey to be fired and wouldn't have his name attached to Olshey being exonerated. We should find out soon enough.

    These seem like the kind of people to actually stand on ceremony on something like this... even though that's pretty lame. At the same time maybe they're just this dysfunctional and the investigation isn't closed or they're just stalling for some weird reason.

    McGowan was President and CEO, everything I have read shows Hankins only going to be president and not the CEO. Unless I am misunderstanding it, he will not have any say in Olshey's job He will be in charge of the business side while Olshey is in charge of the player personal side.

    You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?

    technically, while true (I am a Trekkie), I was referencing the original source of that quote (Adlai Stevenson) but bastardizing it with the Star Trek influence...mostly because I remembered it more from TUC than from Adlai Stevenson...:)
