A few key points Sanchez brings up
-He completely opposes the decision by President Yoon of South Korea to declare martial law and backs the Parliment’s 190/190 vote to end the martial law
-40% of his income goes towards Gold investments
-He believes the Little John’s revival on the corner has more work to do, and that starts with including the chips with the sandwiches again

New Littlejohn’s is a colossal disappointment. Insult to the name.

^^ LJ’s is good after midnight (still behind white spot, Christian’s, and Marco and Luca’s) but not recommended at any other hour. Take-It-Away for day time.

I don’t think is my mind playing tricks on me (I’m not that far out of school!), the food quality is noticeably worse. Was down recently for a wedding and a bunch of us went over and were all pretty disappointed. The chipotle chicken isn’t even close to the same recipe.

What happened to coach’s corner being streamed on facebook?

They went cheap now, radio, and audio only

My dad has been getting the same sandwich at LJ’s for decades now; when he tried it for the first time since the reopen, he swore that it was almost just as good. I ate w him several weeks ago there on game day, and liked my sandwich but agree there is much to be done to live up to the name.

Environment is colder, not as warm and inviting. I despise the cheap new furniture that’s replaced the vintage tables and chairs, I hate the self ordering, and they had the AC blasting way too cold with the door closed. Old LJ’s was hot, doors open, full of life. Not to mention the prices and lack of chips…

What sandwich does he get that’s still the same? Need to try that one next time. The Chipotle chicken broke my heart.

The Sheetz-style self ordering screens with all the upcharges were awful. And then they were sold out of The Nuclear, my usual go to. I went to my backup, The Sampson, and it was ok. I’ll give it another try, but it was definitely a letdown when I went a few weeks ago.

Can’t speak to a warm environment, in 2018 the staff was roughhhh. Had a guy tell me my sandwich ā€œis $14 or $10 cashā€, handed him $20, he popped it in the tip jar and took out $10 lol

Ronnie Wideman was given credit for retro jerseys.
There’s a chance for orange uniforms.
Biggest challenge as a head coach - all the extra curricular stuff … spending quality time with individual players. Know what’s going on in their lives.
He goes to tennis matches - really enjoys tennis, volleyball, his daughter plays volleyball, likes baseball and softball in spring.
Yankee fan as a kid. Then he became a coach and devoted his fandom and memory to high school basketball and recruiting.
Plays tennis.
Vaca spots - Turks and Caicos

Likes audio books - Unoffendable is one.
Also is totally off Social Media

Literally only got to - ā€œLet’s talk hoopsā€ with 5 minutes left …
Practice has been very specific and direct toward Florida. Very opponent specific… intense but shorter practices.
Selflessness a focus. Get them to understand scoring isn’t a barometer of whether you played well.
Move and play a selfless brand of basketball… trying to get 4 or 5 guys in double figures every night.
Working on specific situations.
Cofie said Sanchez gives him the most confidence of any coach he’s ever had.
Trying to instill confidence in doing more of what they are good at.

Hitching his wagon to Cofie is a good way for Ron to win the job.
