Which United States President are the Milwaukee Bucks franchise?

Franklin Pierce IMO. Terrible, but not the worst.

Hold it right there. In the Gadsden Purchase Pierce bought 30,000 square miles of what is now mostly Arizona for about the price of one year of Delly.





I think you owe him an apology.

So he bought the worst part of Arizona?

True, but fifty cents an acre is not a bad price, even for stinking desert. On the other hand, we'll be paying Delly about $50,000 per assist for the 200 or so he'll get next season if things go as planned.

If Robinson can get a potential high caliber free agent a phone call/meeting with Obama, it's worth the hire.

They can leverage us for a phone call too now instead of more money.

Yuma(d)?

Tempe wasn't part of the Gadsden Purchase.

Pretty sure that was part of the Gadzuric purchase.

I lean towards Jefferson Davis myself.

and if you doubt this, read this one liner from his Wikipedia bio and tell me I'm **** wrong.

"His preoccupation with detail, reluctance to delegate responsibility, lack of popular appeal, feuds with powerful state governors and generals, favoritism toward old friends, inability to get along with people who disagreed with him, neglect of civil matters in favor of military ones, and resistance to public opinion all worked against him."

But he's not a United States President. *pushes glasses up*

I mean, his NCAA coach qualifications are mediocre at best. 30-28 as coach of Brown. 93-104 as coach of Oregon State. Never even made the NIT much less the NCAA Tournament.

Good thing we're hiring him as a VP of Player and Organizational development and not a Head Coach then.

Yes, good thing he got promoted after failingat his last job.

This isn't political, hell I volunteered on the Obama campaign during the 08 primaries, but this is a crony hire.

Every hire is a crony hire when you get high enough.

One thing regarding "resumes".

There are a lot of people who have "Harvard"' "Goldman Sachs", "Google" etc. and get immediate respect for it.

But what you have to ask is, what did this person do there? Who hired them and why? How did they contribute? How long did they stay at said place?

Part of the modern world today is a scam game based on getting names on your resume to get hired so you can get paid again at a different "name place". In the meantime you don't do much real work. People just assume you're good because of the names on the resume.

Ok, with that comment out of the way, I don't know much about this guy, so he might be very good in this role. Just noting I wouldn't assume anyone massively qualified because their resume is loaded with "names".

Eh, Brown has been playing basketball for over 100 years and have never won as many games as the 19 Robinson coached them to before he got the Oregon State job. Likewise his 21 win season there was the winningest in Corvallis in the past 25 years. That's part of his resume. It's not just a list of names.

And although you're right about the respect you can get from having a school like Harvard on your resume, there is a good reason for that. The talent that gathers at places like that is no scam. It's very real. Like anyplace, there are exceptions, but it's really not that hard to pick them out.

Getting your foot in the Ivy League door is the hard part. Once it's there though, you're set - your access and connections increase exponentially. So talent is debatable - there are some major dumbasses, but their dumbassery is masked by their access and connections.

Not saying this has anything to do with this hire though.

Maybe not your United States, commie
