Good Bye Texas and the West. Bonjour East and Paris
A change of conference and location for the juggers. It has many people making them a big favorite in the eastern conference. We sat down with management to see why the move and get a sense of where they feel the might be by the end of the season.
Today we are in Paris France chatting with managment from Paris, now moving from Paris to Texas i can't think of two more different cultures why the move?
I am the coach of Paris University on the GCBA, and flying from Paris to Austin Texas every week to juggle between my 2 jobs was too much. And the French way of live has been really succesful at College level so we want to give it a try at pro-level.
With the move you find your self in a brand new divison in the eastern conference what are your thoughts on that?
I am quite happy with my new division and conference. There are a couple of coaches on my division that I know them from the GCBA so the competition will be harder now. And someone has to raise the level of the weak East.
Yes maybe some quick thoughts about you new rivials in your division
Frankfurt didn't do a really good job at FA I think and I really don't expect them to play a big part here.. Gabon is a nice team, but I don't think they have what it takes to play with us. London is rebuilding so I don't expect anything from them. This leaves us with Budapest, that whatever happens, he is always up there, Albacete, that always have a good team, but I don't find them scary. For me, my biggest enemy will be Andorra. They had a good team and they will still have it this year.
Scott Lio did an interview with GSPN talking about why he came to paris, now the question is why did paris go after scott lio?
Are you kidding me? The best SG out there? A player from Paris University that helped to get the first title? Apart from his on-court skills he is the best FA signing we could do on a marketing level. It was huge for us! We think he was a bargain!
I never joke around. Well I try not too. Lets talk about some league matters now in a recent interview on are website the commisoner has promised a tighter called WBA what does that mean for you team?
This is a good thing for the league. There has been too much slack around the game where nearly never a player stept out of bound even if it was clearly out, they allowed him to come back. This will hurt the more aggresive players on both end, attack and defense. Players like Mason, Gonzales or Eggan will be the more touched.
It has been a long off season with many issues coming up what are your thoughts moving forward
I am happy with the way the league has handled many issues, but I really think that the cap is an issue that has to be studied and taken care of. If we are able to do that everything will be okay.
Alright now as we start pre-season what players do you see as being the most improved on your squad?
I expect a lot of Meyers, Lio and Vasquez this year. They will have to take the team on their shoulders and prove that we have a lot to say on this league.
Ok finally to avoid bias we are asking owners in the east who they think will win the west and same of owners in the west about the east so who do you like to win your former conference?
Oregon is going to win the West. But I woud like it to be Cancun. I would love to play the finals on the WBA against them.
Yes they have a great history in cancun well we are finshed unless you have anything too add?
Just two things. First is that this year we want it all. We are going to be really aggresive. Second, if you have a chance to visit the City of Love you should. One of the most beautiful cities in the world. Just watch where you step. Thanks for having me and good luck.
Yes to you as well i admit french wine is just as nice as texas barb-q. Not to mention FRENCH WOMEN ROCK. I may have to delay my interview in Omaha. There are not many hot women in Omaha.
