check out ric b's article on Pete Newell's big man camp.

Apparently the pro camp might be dust. You guys have seen the improvments in Foyle. The big man camp is the reason. I think it would be a mistake to get rid of it. There are also some tidbits about the young warriors there and their improvements or problems. He also mentioned the reason Mullin took the job was due to Clifford Ray being let go. Supposedly they did not see eye to eye on basketball related things. That's some good W's info.

Rick used to the NBA beat writer for a paper in the Bay Area. When he would be a guest on KNBR, he would give up mad NBA rumors and news. He always had good sources and was never shy to share what he knew.

That's right. He was good. He still comes on KNBR with the razor and Tolbert. Sometimes he is a little full of himself but most of the time he writes good stuff.

I funny that they tried to have the camp in Vegas. That town is one big distraction. They should just hire coaches that are not employed w/ a NBA team. If the NBA is worried that other coaches will scout players for their team, then they need to move in that direction.
