This what I received in return from Coach.
"Well, I appreciate the reply to the work we are doing here in San Antonio. I do not attack, the news or media outlets. I am a very straight-forward guy. I say exactly the way it is. I have talked with the newspaper here and all they say is how they feel. When I have talked to many of our community, I get a grand response on how great it is to have the ABA back in SA. However, I am glad someone can see the hard work we are doing here. This leaggue is not unproven, it is just WORD-of mouth unproven. You see, I am not your normal, owner/coach. I am the upfront and REAL LIFE guy that is not here for publicity when it comes to my team. I am strictly here to bring in the common youth to our organization, and to help out with my local community. It is unfortunate that this team is never going to be or ever was affiliated with the SPURS. We will never be what the Spurs were back in the day, I only let the public know that this is the SAME ABA league that was formed back then but we just do not pay our players what they did in those days. You see I, along with 43 other teams are apart of the BIGGEST LEAGUE in the country, No other league has this many teams apart of it. We are here to help young men try to get to the top. But we also teach the aspect of professionalism. Which means, you do not always have to be recognized for your job. You always want to do the same thing everyday and eventually someone will see the work you put in and give you a chance. Sports is not about the TEAM, but in today's society, it is about WINNING!! No matter who helped with the win, it was a win. Same thing goes with a loss. When you win people notice you then when you lose, gossip kicks in. That is just the business. We all go through it. But with me being such a young owner(31) I do have a long way to go. The people of San Antonio will eventually see WHY I put this team together. It may take 5 weeks, 5 moths, or 5 yrs, but we will be seen not just heard. Thanks again and hope to talk to you again. --Ben"
Is he delusional? or just misguided? Also, a horrible speller. lol I think it's the former because he thinks this ABA is the same one from the 70's. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw that statement. Ugh!
