Tuesdays with Dani: Guy Boucher is now experienced
Every time Michael Farber writes, I just want to share how well he writes with anyone who will care. With the two firings of coaches in the Southeast Division, he takes a look at what happened, the back story on the new coaches and a look at the other two coaches in the division.
With all this turnover in our division, it seems a bit strange that Guy Boucher now has the longest tenure out of the group. What was his response to being told this? "That’s what I hear," Boucher said. "I’m so experienced now."
