They'd be risking a huge fine. HUGE. And a loss of draft picks. And possibly Dumars and the coach getting suspended. Also, if that was really worth the risk (it's not), only Mike Woodson could do it. Frank is a Celtics assistant, so he's already barred from contacting players. Tommy Amaker tried to pull something similar at Harvard and it led to an NCAA violation. http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/12960/harvard-admits-to-secondary-violation

Just a thought, What if they have picked the new coach already but didn’t sign him so he can meet with players. A loop hole to the lookout?

Good luck in your quest. Our content speaks for itself and I’m satisfied with our audience.

Well, I started out trying to read and contribute to your sight on a serious basis.

But I fould that your responses to my posts were so snotty and slanted, that I’ve now taken it upon myself to annyoy you as much as possible.

It’s very simple then: don’t read. The internet is a big place. You can find what you’re looking for elsewhere I’m sure.

“I’ve just never encountered a person who reads BR as anything more than a parody site.”

I’m just guessing here Patrick, but I’d be willing to bet Bleacher Report gets a whole lot more readership than Piston Powered. What do you think?

And as far as parody sights go, you people are the ones running pictures of Charlie Villanueva planking, and some former ABA coach in stone washed over-alls. If that’s not parody, I don’t know what it.

Bleacher Report seems like a much more serious sight than yours, IMO.

“Seriously though, do I need a restraining order?”

Hey, you’re the one who puts all your information on the internet, not me.

And any error I made regarding your backgroud is your fault, since all my information came from your linkedin page.

Personally, I think your resume looks a lot thiner than Bill Laimbeer’s. :^)

Alright, you’re getting too familiar there for my tastes. But it appears your research into my background is as incomplete as the research you put into your comments here. Seriously though, do I need a restraining order?

I notice you don’t address the opinions of the article at all. Very detailed work, Patrick.

BTW, I could dismiss all of your articles just by saying they were only written by some 25 or 30 year old know-nothing, who took six years to graduate from Oakland University, and use to write for the Flint Journal.

But I would never do that, because one, it would be mean spirited, and two, it would missed the point of your articles.

Nah, you’re right. It’s 100 percent snotty of me. I’ve just never encountered a person who reads BR as anything more than a parody site. It’s totally a useful site if you’re looking for slideshows of the hottest soccer wags though. They cornered the market on that type of content.
