Hustlers GM Lieberman names managerial candidates
In a brief interview with Hustlers General Manager Terry Lieberman today, he disclosed the names that he's considering for the next Hustlers manager.
"Well, I don't think it's a secret that on the top of the list will be
Bump Rectenjohnson. We've been grooming him for an important role in our organization since his first year here back in 1987. We'll see if the field manager role is the best use of his abilities. To be honest, he's been invaluable as my assistant in the past season, and is actually changing my mind in regards to team building concepts," Lieberman explained.
Another possibility is
Tom Lavarriere. The former Hustlers player has been calling Lieberman a lot of late. "Tom seems like he's pretty bored since his playing days ended," Lieberman said. "He's been calling me non-stop asking for a job. No one respects him more than me, so we'll see what we can do for him."
Theo Reckley's name has also surfaced. "He's a guy who goes way back with our owner, so we owe him the courtesy of an interview to say the least," said Lieberman. "I'm not too familiar with him, but we'll see what happens."
A very interesting candidate could be 47 year old
Don Money. "Don has a wealth of experience between playing for the Hustlers, Missions and Monarchs in the MBBA, and also the Phillies and Brewers in MLB. He's a lifer who could add a lot of veteran presence to our team," Lieberman explained.
The final initial candidate is former Hustler outfielder
Tommy Hobbs. "What can we say about Hobbs, he's a fundamental genius," Lieberman gushed. "The man doesn't accept failure. His 1973 season with us was awesome, and I only wish that injuries didn't shorten his career. I hear he has a kid coming up soon, Roy Hobbs III, and he wants to get back into the game. We're definitely going to have serious conversations with Tom."
The Hustlers plan to complete their search within the next week or so.
