Manegerial Candidates pared down.
After the
initial round of interviews, which were transcribed as a feature to the MBBA, Las Vegas Hustlers GM has pared down the candidates to just two: Bump Rectenjohnson and Don Money.
Theo Reckley was highly regarded by Lieberman, but he couldn't get a long term commitment from him in regards to staying the course. Reckley's involvement with his family seemed to be the priority in his life, and both sides amicably agreed that it wasn't a good fit right now.
Hall of Famer Tom Lavarriere was very impressive in his interview, however Lieberman felt he didn't have the experience he was looking for in the next Hustlers manager, plus his hinting at a beastiality addiction was troubling, to say the least.
Tommy Hobbs dropped out of the running before he could even be considered. This was particularly troubling because most thought he'd be a strong candidate for the opening.
This leaves Rectenjohnson and Money. Most outsiders have believed from the start that this whole interview process was just a dog and pony show that would end in the coronation of Rectenjohnson as manager. Lieberman says that isn't so. "Sure, Bump has one foot in the door due to his long standing relationship with the organization," Lieberman explained. "But I've said before that we're not entirely sure that pulling him from the front office is the right road to take."
Sources within the Hustlers organization say that at the beginning of the process, Money was a longshot, but after the first round of interviews he's emerged as a serious contender for this position. "Terry seemed to really like what he brings to the table as a veteran leader," the source said. "He seemed genuinelly excited to talk with him again. You know what else? Life is like a mop. Sometimes life gets full of dirt and crud and hairballs and things and you gotta clean it out. You gotta stick it in here and rinse it off and start all over again. And sometimes life sticks to the floor so much that a mop, a mop, it's not good enough. You gotta get down there with like a toothbrush, you know, and you gotta really scrub 'cause you gotta get it off. But if that doesn't work, you can't give up. You gotta stand right up. You gotta run to a window and say, 'These floors are dirty as hell, and I'm not gonna take it any more.'"
Anyways, both candidates are expected to meet with Lieberman in the next 24 hours, and an announcement could be forthcoming by late Tuesday/early Wednesday.
