Re: Interim Coach

["Cecil Wright" <cecil@hfx.eastlink.ca>]

You know how I feel about this team but I am curious about someone who is
never mentioned as a potential next coach of the C's.

Why is the only guy who played with Russell and Bird always omitted?  And he
has more experience as a coach then any of the crop of ex-players mentioned
for the position.
