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.
