I didn't even realize this. Tom Gores is part owner of Four Winns, boat company and whatnot that filed for bankruptcy. My dad used to work for them, but they laid him off, and never brought him back. It's a Cadillac based company. I just found that interesting.

More good news: Joe Dumars isn't going anywhere. It's believed Gores has told him that he can remain president for as long as he desires. It's difficult imagining Dumars walking away after getting an owner who is as committed as he is in restoring pride to an organization reduced to rubble under Davidson's two years as keeper to Bill Davidson's basketball legacy.
FML so hard.

My opinions have changed about Dumars. This season with the team in limbo and the sale stalling, he couldn't do ANYTHING at all. Unless it involved trading away salary and not taking any back. Now, with a committed owner in Gores, he will be able to do whatever he wants/needs to make this team better. So, IMO, I think he can turn the team around. We're all going to be in for an active/exciting summer.

Never know with Dumars.

I'm in Sal's boat though. I'm giving him ONE last chance. And that is this off-season.
