What makes you think Hakeem is going to leave Africa and come back here for an extended period and work with this guy? Thabeet has shown zero effort to get better and become a dominant player. It takes two to tango........

Dream is in Jordan, not Africa.

Funny that Blair and Thabeet shared Big East POY honors. Blair's numbers were hurt by the overall talent on that Pitt team.

I could care less

How much less?

dream has said repeatedly that he doesn't want any kind of full-time gig coaching. he's been willing to work with individual players (most recently kobe and dwight howard), but only because they reached out to him.

of course, thabeet would be a fool not to request a session or twenty.

He made Jr E. look pretty mediocre.

Don't count on him reaching out then.

He was allowed to do whatever he wanted. Half of his blocks in that game were fouls. He has no control of his arms once he gets in the air, and he hacks quite often.
