More Changes

[Monster]

Basically Moor was the top guy when it came to everything business with the Wolves and the Lynx. I'd guess he has very little input into the basketball side of things. Keep in mind just how big of an organization some of these.

Tim Glen didn't exactly clean house when it came to Moor he just moved him to another office probably in another building but Moor still is going to be a caretaker to bother he Wolvea and the Lynx in his new position. It doesn't hurt to have new blood though.

I'd be curious to hear from Lip or anyone else that's a season ticket holder etc what it is that the Wolves organization does really well. It feels like there can be various improvements in various phases not just basketball. I think Flip was working on som of those things because that was who he was but now it's time for maybe some new folks to come in and change some stuff.

Think about this. Thibs and Layden are the first tea outside people with real pull to hire and fire pretty much anyone since Glen took over the franchise and put McHale and Flip in charge. Kahn was basically a youngish assist GM that got his shot so he couldn't just do what ever he wanted. Flip obviously could do what he wanted but he was familiar with most guys so he kept people around. Adelman may have had about as much power as an outsider that I can think of and he was only here for barely 2 years. Enter Tvibs and Layden. Thibs gets the POBO title and Layden is a seasoned NBA executive that can say hey we need to do this and you should probably listen to him. It's going to be interesting to see how it plays out. I feel surprisingly good about it all.

The Wolves organization has always been excellent with fan and community relations. They treat fans and season ticket holders extremely well and have very good community outreach programs. Based on what I know, the two guys who deserve most of the credit for the organization's excellence in these areas are Team President, Chris Wright, and VP of Fan/Community Relations, Jeff Munneke. I'm not sure. What Rob Moor did in his capacity as CEO. I know he has a lot of detractors, but I'm not sure the criticism is entirely fair. I do know that Rob is a nice guy. He sits two rows in front of me. I've talked to him and exchanged emails with him on several occasions.

One thing I can say for certain is that Rob's move will cut any significant connection he has to the team. In his role as CEO, Rob was the head executive of the Wolves and Lynx. That will no longer be the case. I have a very strong suspicion that this isn't something Rob simply decided to do. I would wager a lot of money that he was told to do this. There's a bigger story behind this move, but I don't know the details. A housecleaning is definitely in progress. Not sure how much farther it will go.

[Shumway]

Is a housecleaning a good thing in your opinion Lip? It seems as though you're sceptical about things at this point. But with our history, I'd have to think that a complete fresh start is appropriate.

Didn't even know who Rob Moor was, what does the CEO of a basketball team do? All these job titles are confusing. Does he make more than Thibs? Is a VP of player personnel necessary with a GM and a POBO? Can somebody make a flow chart for me?

LOL, Jerry - good stuff here.

LST is a consultant at old Uncle Ernie's isn't he? Perhaps he can draw an org chart up for us and post it somewhere.

Thanks Q, where you been? Or maybe you've been contributing but I haven't seen your posts. Is everyone in Philly getting excited again for the annual 'top pick about to be injured or arrested?'

Retired from Uncle Ernie, Q...gratefully retired.

All I can say about the org chart is that it is as comprehensible as a Jackson Pollock painting.
