Friday---July 10th, 2012

I watched Coach Molnar's interview during the Patriot's halftime. One thing I like about Coach Molnar is his straightforward style. He makes declarative statements. That's a big change from Coach Morris who's obtuse interviews  I found irritating. He had a politician's knack of answering a question while saying nothing.

Matty V. has a story and a video clip from Coach Molnar's intereview.

Matty had another article on Coach Molnar meeting Coach Calipari.
