TO: Dayton & Warrior Insider Staff :

Didn’t see in the Video: (Wish one or two, even three more heard the Other Leader: WHY Did Mike Stay ?
Contributing; He couldn’t stay….but he implored, Mike felt compelled to relay: (paraphrasing)
“Mike, you gotta stay and save and carry and protect this program we’ve built…” [Isaac Fotu]
Also Heard: (Something you ‘might’ see Next Year:)
To Jack Purchase (JP): “Jack, Tell us about Mate Colina.
JP: “You have Never Seen a Big Man Fly Down the Court So Fast…”
“? …And Finish ? “ (A 6-11 Fast Target; Think Tight End, Wide Receiver)
“Jack, YOU Are a Great Passer !…
You Can Hit him on the Fly Every Time … ?”
JP: “Every Time…”

Besides Our Current Culture of Immediate Self-Gratification…
There is Usually Great Value & Perhaps Wisdom in Taking The Longer Perspective
Perspective:
Bullying IS a Continuing Issue: TWO NCAA BEAT-UP The Little Guy Attacks Made it All the Way To Our Shores;
FIRST TIME: As Probation Investigation Broke: Bruce O’ Neill (9-12) and RICK PITINO (2`4) went 11-16 as the NCAA slapped down the program. After “ALL” the Players ran away, that was immediately followed by FOUR More Losing Sesons, including a Bottoming Out @ 1-26 ! That Team played Really Hard !
SECOND TIME: This Time, UH (Benjy & Ganot) WON through the investigation; after most players ran away, bottomed
out at only one game below .500 (14-16) and Now The Rise to The STATED GOAL of Basketball POWER (Opinion: I Say Smart, Hard, Clean Work to Unprecedented Levels 14-17-20+(?) …And NOT Delusional…)
[GIB WAS Very Close IF he Just didn’t “Fight” with his own “Team”…UHAD Wahine et.al…]
Should Be Very Interesting, Indeed…

Another Level of Dedication:
Personal Opinion: As a Former Fed: I have Total Respect for The FBI AND Head Coach Level of Dedicated “Grinders” (Sure they have to Make ‘Choices’ (I Do Not Think there are Any Mistakes, everyone makes The Best Choices they know how, with the (often limited) information they have; and in hindsight maybe would make another or differenrt decision)
The FBI Goes After The BIG BAD (Illegal Acts) Guys… NCAA, Crime & “Fake-News” Government…
SEE Hawai’i Senator Brian Schatz on Bill Maher Last Night 4/13….
WE Must Be [(To Dems): the Party of Laws, to remain] a Nation of Laws…
