Listening to Hub interviewing Chuck Swirsky this afternoon.
I like the Swirsk. Giving some good thoughts on Da Boo without breaking negative.
Fair and thoughtful observations by Chuck. Enjoying this.
I heard what I guess was the last half of that interview. Hub asked Swirsky why big-name free agents were not coming to Chicago, then added he doesn't understand why they wouldn't want to come to Chicago, but some people say or there is the impression out there that they do not.
OK, Hub, you live in Chicago and work in sports media in Chicago but don't know why big-name free agents don't want to come here to play for the Bulls.
Swirsky said he didn't know, either, and laughed off the notion that it might be because of anyone managment or the coach.
I expect Swirsky to pretend not to know. It's pitiful for Hub to pretend he doesn't know.
Yeah, Hub tried to get Swirsk to beak bad on Boylen in regards to not being the sharpest tool in the shed. Swirsky didn't take the bait and basically said he doesn't make his job "personal" when it comes to coaches. Say what you will about Chuck but he seems to keep it classy.
Button 48 moment... When I worked part time at a radio station we were part of the Bulls Radio Network carrying every game. Got to meet Chuck and Bill Wennington before a game at the UC. They were both cordial, kind and accommodated anyone posing for pics and signing MANY autographs.
