San Antonio play-by-play commentator Dan Weiss got a hold of Coach Dean for a 14 minute Q&A on Friday which can be viewed on YouTube here. Give it a look when you have a chance.
A couple of thoughts:
- First of all, it's fantastic that this even happened and is available for the masses to watch. Not only that but the Rampage invited fans to submit questions which were actually used in the interview. So far the access to information seems to be a big improvement over years past. Very encouraging.
- The interview itself is good, a few re-iterations of the basic mantra we've heard before: uptempo style, Western Conference teams are bigger & more physical, winning is important to development, young players need to earn time, etc
- Chynoweth expects most of the team to be back with a few additions obviously
- Wasn't in the video portion but there was a teaser of the interview in the San Antonio paper yesterday that said the Avs hoped to re-sign Andrew Agozzino.
