The Whittemore Center Arena Design & Replacement of Ice Floor System report released in 2019 is available online. I have only skimmed but have found it interesting.

Thanks for this Sean. I read it pretty thoroughly when it was published. The most interesting/frustrating parts are what is not being done due to cost. Fixing the sight lines and using wasted space. In a perfect world the refrigeration system replacement could be delayed until (if) funds could be raised to do everything just exactly perfect. Thinking back to puddles of water delaying games, repairs can’t wait.
 
Thanks for the further insight on this...had no idea Umile wanted this as well...

... it should be noted that almost 30 years ago, Coach Umile likely would have had a major hand in the decision to construct the Whittemore Center's ice as an Olympic-sized sheet.

No one seemingly had an issue with it until the program started to circle the drain ...
 
One slight omission, 'dc. You (or he?) felt it was important to mention this was "MJ era Bulls". Not Norm Van Lier era, not Derrick Rose era, but THE MJ Era. If you'd (he'd) only said it was with the Bulls, I probably don't say boo. But you (or he) brought in the MJ Era, and it felt like you (he) wanted credit. I'm sure you can understand the inferences. Just sayin' ...



My point was (still is) that further to the discussion of importance of your guy's role - and I'm not pushing for disclosure of details to "out" your guy - the only guys with any real say on the Bulls franchise in that era were (1) Reinsdorf, (2) Krause, a long drop to (3) Jordan, and (4-10) an even longer drop into irrelevance to anyone else in the front office, most if not all of whom would be Reinsdorf/Krause-friendly "yes" men. That's not "garbage", Lord knows if the Celts wanted a young Chuck to count Red's paperclips, and nod "yes" at appropriate times, I'd have been all in, too. That's the reality of that era, and despite your claims of me being "wrong", you haven't established otherwise.



I haven't seen the guy's resume, 'dc. You mentioned the "MJ era Bulls" in your recap. So if I'm "wrong" I'll apologize here to your guy, and shift the criticism to you, OK? Again, if you give us the Forbes quote, and say he's had a hand in dozens if not hundreds of major college AD hires nationally, I don't say boo. Mid-level functionary with the MJ Era Bulls? Big whoop.

These points are just so silly, I’ll let your own pathetic arguments stand as my rebuttal. Glad this thread is done.
