Changing of the Guard

By Red Coleman On June 3, 2013 · 4 Comments · In June 2013

Any time that a change of ownership occurs, the expectation is that there will be several personnel changes as well. Sometimes, that means that players will be moved. Or maybe a coaching change. Or even that the business side will experience a shake-up. It also means moves within the front office.
