Job Offer

Yes, I take it. I don't think twice about it.

If it were my sport, it would be my dream job. Right now, I am covering my sport, but writing was never the goal I set for myself.

Even though the WNBA isn't where I want to be (I actually hate basketball), the experience from that job would put me a lot closer to what I want to do.

 

Sorry, Luggie, I thought you were asking us for advice.

Me? If it's WNBA, no. If it's NHL, hell yeah. If it's ECHL, hell yeah (although I probably couldn't expect $110K in that league).

 

Double J - OK, it's interesting that you'd do it for ECHL.

And as a bonus for you, I'm keeping your salary at $110K.

 

I'd take a look at the travel and if it is workable, like not being on the road eight or nine months, then I would say yes to the offer.
If the off-season demands, personal appearances, scouting trips, that sort of thing. If those weren't especially demanding, then I would again say yes.
Money and a cool title, those aren't the things I look for. Quality of life is way too important to me than a six-figure salary.
So if the job had good QOL, I'd say yes and wouldn't look back. Doesn't matter what the job offer would be.

 

Hell yes. Never mind the enormous raise I'd be getting. I like the WNBA, adore baseketball and would kill to have to opportunity to work with women like Sheryl Swoopes, Sue Bird, Katie Smith or Tamika Catchings. No brainer for me.

 

I'd make sure I'm offered health benefits.

 

Coogs - Not only would you get health benefits, but you'd get really good ones.

Gotta admit, I'm a little surprised by these results.

 

Sure, why not.

I'd much rather be the Director of Player Personnel for a WNBA team than an NBA team. The pressure would be a lot less. You'd probably feel good about giving young women the break of a lifetime rather than fretting over which shooting guard to take.

Also, not likely that some pesky sports columnists is going to be ripping you on draft day. They won't even know when the WNBA draft is.

 

Yes, I would. In a second.

And I'd hire Jennifer Azzi as my personal assistant.
