Wonder if this means LED will go down to the dark and dingy basement to Horst's office to let him know he's been fired, or if they'll just let the situation take care of itself now that the glitch in the payroll has been fixed.

The fact that so many people around here talked themselves into believing that Horst possessed real power has been an entertaining aside to an otherwise extremely frustrating season.

They had all season to find a POBO, why wait until now to look for one? If anything, LED is looking where to go for a po’boy sandwich. Woeful strikes again

Wisconsinites, you know what I'm referring to ;)


I wonder if Gery has “got a time” that we might hire the Big Boy, aka POBO. ; )

The Bucks' season has ended so poorly that even if they had planned to give Horst another year that might have changed.

LED have to do something major if they want to amp up energy as we get going into the new arena.

Otherwise watching Giannis slowly come to grips with the fact that he needs to demand a trade is hardly worth the kind of entertainment dollars they intend to get spent.

What was Bud's track record at POBO like?

How would we feel about it if we have to give him the authority to hire his own GM to close a deal?

The Knicks will interview Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer for their vacant head coach position this weekend, according to a person with knowledge of New York’s plans. Budenholzer talked to the Suns this week about their open head coach position before deciding to withdraw from consideration Thursday.


The Magic and Hornets also have head coach openings. The Bucks and Grizzlies had interim coaches at season’s end. The Bucks are currently playing the Celtics in a first-round playoff series.

Can someone tell me what the difference is between POBO and VPOBO? Or GM?
Corporations started proliferating VPs, now do they have more than one "P" in a company?

That's part of the problem.... We have no idea if Horst is an idiot or a savant.... But, I would bet most of the other exec's view him as a apprentice placeholder - even if he's got some ability. Who's going to take him seriously?
