Apologize for my naïveté, but who is Shams??

Here's your answer...

There is no real equivalent to Shams in college basketball so it’s hard to understand his role unless you follow the NBA. He (and before him, a guy named Woj) broke every major NBA story. Like, every single one. NBA fans don’t believe something is true until Shams says it. He’s not like a Goodman type—if Shams says it’s someone, it’s a done deal. 
 

If it’s going to be an NBA guy, Shams will be the source. When people wonder why stuff hasn’t leaked from the Celtics side, they’re talking about Shams. 
 

(Side note: Woj retired to become the GM at St. Bonaventure, where he’s an alum.)

Ha. Yeah. Some people are in it for the reaction. I don’t care. Just funny how people react to their click baiting. 

I blocked a few I consider trolls so I don't see the nonsense....Kathy would be one......a few others blocked because I dislike their attitudes...lol

What’s funny is, if we end up with Brownell or McCollum, the thought that Dolson kept things quiet goes right out the window since that’s who the “regional” sports people have been saying. Which is why I don’t think it will be either of them.

Each time we've hired a coach, there's been little to no buzz about it anywhere until right before they were announced. Which is why all the hand-wringing over Brownell is silly.

Kinda true a week out. But as we got close to the announcement day? Definitely not true, especially for Woodson.
  • For the Woody hire, about three days before the hire [mention=1559]8bucks[/mention], a wonderful poster who never gets over his skis, had the hire nailed -- through Woodson family acquaintances I believe. He told me but didn't want the attribution or grief on the open board so I posted that the info came from a credible, anonymous source about three days before Woody was announced. There was a meltdown and a "how do YOU know more than the insiders" string of pushback, as there should have been. And then it happened.
  • For Cig, if I remember correctly his name wasn't really mentioned until a day or two before he was announced. When his name was suddenly thrown into the mix [mention=6234]Lebowski[/mention] started singing the praises really strongly, and pretty much everybody was then was a fan of his take (because he knows more football than many of us ever will). A day or two after the board had it as a strong possibility, the announcement came.
Wait...so credible information comes from people on this board and it's not just reserved for the media figure heads? Weird...
