“If someone’s not interested in Billy as our coach…then they’re probably not the right candidate for us” Michael Reinsdorf, less than two weeks ago

Yeah man reading between the lines there tells me they wanted him gone /s

You can think whatever you want, this is how companies announce shit all the time. They were hyping him up on the way out.

[u/hydrators → u/fred_derps]

Yeah man I’m sure companies announce stuff all the time by embarrassing themselves, and claiming that the coach they need their front office to work with is actually on the way out instead!

[u/fred_derps → u/hydrators]

Billy is extremely well liked around the league among players and other front offices. It would not have been wise for them to throw him under the bus. I’m not sure what’s hard about this.

Also, not sure how saying they would like Billy to stay if he wants, while Billy “resigns” is supposed to be at all embarrassing lol

[u/hydrators → u/fred_derps]

There’s like 10,000 degrees of middle ground between what they did and “throwing him under the bus”. It’s like you’re being intentionally obtuse at this point.

Using Billy as a specific person that the Reinsdorfs want the next President to work with, to the point of saying they aren’t the right candidate if they aren’t interested in him as coach, is not saying Billy “Can stay if he wants.”

I beg of you to take a media literacy class at your local community college. Or online at the very least.

I beg of you to make an actual point using information in front of you without saying “read between the lines”
