Richard, I like the fact that you are a college hoops fan as that is
one of my passions. I'm glad that one of REFR's coaches likes his
chances to get to the Final Four and go for a Championship. Believe
me, I've spoken to other company coaches who have been quite unenthu-
siastic and downright negative on their chances for a Final Four
appearance. Even when International Lottery and Totalizator's stock
was doing well, their investor relation's coach was decidedly unenthu-
siastic about the company's prospects. He obviously knew something,
because several months later the stock began its fall from 20 to where
it currently resides--1.5!! My point is, that not all coaches think
it's going to be a great year for their team---some know that they
don't have the players to get them to the Championship Game, and are
quite blunt about it (ie:ITSI, and others).
As far as getting an outside official calling the game, and not a
REFR official, I did talk to a guy in California recently about REFR.
Admittedly, he's a shareholder, but he said he had talked to a coach
at Material Sciences a few months ago. The coach, Graham Thiely, was
very impressed with REFR, I was told. That's as close as we can get
to an outside official at this point. Anyway, RC, let's just hope
REFR can stay away from the injury bug, and keep all its players in
one piece, and maybe we'll all be celebrating a Final Four appearance,
and National Championship in the not too distant future!!
PS. Yes, RC, I know. Tubby Smith got his start under J.D.Barnett at
VCU and (if I'm right about this) ironically replaced him as head
caoch at Tulsa. Am I right about the Tulsa part? Congrats on your
win last night--we've really got our hands full in Maui the next three
days! |
