At first, I was like “wtf”. But, is it really a necessity to physically be there?
In today’s age of streaming content, tons of footage from games, etc…I think it makes more sense to not attend while in a situation like ours.
MM said that after he was at his initial meet & greet (announcement), he went right upstairs and went to work. He’s hitting the ground running…and time is of the essence.
I have total and complete trust in the FO. I truly feel that they’re going to get the most out of our guys. I suspect it will take time. MM and JS are going to build this thing out.
Coaches don’t arbitrarily skip events like these unless they have more important issues at hand.
