I think you are 100% dead-on about the bunker mentality ploy being pulled again.
For a while I thought that shutting down any communication was the stance of the entire athletic department, but Paul Hewitt is the exact opposite in this regard.
Maybe that's one of the reasons other than winning that Hewitt is liked so well by the fans. I don't care much for basketball, but I do care for him.
Regarding another letter, I think that's a great idea!
Not that it would likely do much good, I would like to see the StingTalk brother with the best writing skills to be nominated by this board to write a professionally done demand letter to Wayne Clough, representing all StingTalk members that are in consensus for the swift removal of Dave Braine, and for the new AD to have full authority to make whatever coaching changes he sees fit.
This letter should also address the pride we all share in the academic prestige of Tech, but feel that with the right people running athletics, we can achieve greatness in both areas.
This letter could be signed by everyone in support of it, and should be copied to all appropriate media outlets.
I think we have bitched long and hard enough without it being directed properly. I know I have. Is anybody else in support of this?
