Johnny Orr is still awesome.

He was just on with Kieth and Hassel and still gives some of the best interviews.

He is obviously pretty excited with Hoiberg being named the head coach along with Grayer being retained.

DAMN! I was listening since two, except for a couple things that took me away from the radio and missed Johnny!

Great interview with Johnny. I guess in a pinch he could help be an asst. coach. Key point he said was that it is managing personalities and letting the players mesh and do their job vs. running a bunch of plays.

I hope JO was summarily chastised for 'bashing' GM!

There is not serious talk of him being involved in the coaching like Lavin mentioned with Gene Keady at SJU...is there?

Excellent as always, Coach! Whoooieee that guy can still spin some yarn man!

Hope they podcast it.

Seriously awesome interview. So good.

**iowajazz** · 04-28-2010, 03:32 PM

Johnny is quite simply the best. They need to name the court after him NOW. It was a great interview and you can tell he sees this hire as the continuation of his legacy.

**Jack & Hilton** · 04-28-2010, 03:34 PM

Podcast please! Thanks Keith and Andy/Chris!

Maybe we could replace the ENORMOUS Pioneer logos with JO's face!

After Johnny hung up Keith mentioned the time a year ago when Johnny sat down in-studio at KXNO and told stories for an hour or two. I dont know if any of you heard that, but it was great!
Today's interview was good, but that story telling session a year ago was just awesome.

I'm sitting in my office listening to Johnny and looking at the autographed photo of him hanging on the wall. I'm sitting here pumping my fists and laughing the whole time. I'm ready to buy some season tickets. I can't wait!

Is that available anywhere? I'd love to hear it.

Johnny mentioned that Jim Hallahan would be a good fit for an assistant. Heck, he even said he would come and help coach! Classic.

Keith and Andy don't podcast but you can hear a replay of this at 6:10. (no, this is not me trying to get you to listen to Matt and Miller today) just thought I'd let you know.

Thanks Matt! (No hard feelings from me!)
