I think this dude should be fired. Also, he’s kinda old to be working in social media. Let him go and hire some 20 something that knows WTF they’re doing.

And extra points off for this guy trying to push us out there being called Detroit Mercy. Fireable offense for me right there.

He's deleted the Tweet. He can run but he can't hide because I have the screenshot.

And we wonder why we have problems marketing the University? Not sure if a letter of explanation and apology from Ronalds supervisor to the coach at Westlake would be positive or negative at this point. This might be an opportunity for our recruiter to recontact the Westlake poster And explain our rebrand snafu and let him know we appreciate his thank you. Damage Control with an opportunity to open a new positive dialogue with Westlake and show we care.

Don’t worry guys, The Mole is inserting himself into the situation. This makes me nervous! Is this really a fireable offense? Or maybe this is making a mountain out of a "Molehill." And careful with those "kinda old" comments. That's ageism -- a fireable offense. (Saying this with a sense of humor.)

The issue is not the name of the university. It's how one university employee used his personal Twitter account to make an arrogant and unprofessional response to a positive Tweet about us. There was a professional way to handle this very minor issue. This employee has no sense of proportion or courtesy. Ron Bernas is now known as Ron Burned-ass. As it should be.
But we should not blow this thing out of proportion. We have a good team and we will exceed most "expert" expectations this year. Don't be another Burned-ass by blowing this thing all out of proportion at this time in the season.

Maybe I’m being a little touchy but someone from the university messaged back the poster at Westlake and chastised him for calling us the University of Detroit stating if you want to thank us get our name right. To me this person is an idiot and if they are in the athletic dept. maybe they shouldn’t be there anymore. Things like this are really really counterproductive. We send someone down to watch a practice and we have someone undermine the effort. It’s tough enough trying to recruit for a hospital basketball team let alone someone pissing on the effort. This is rude and demeaning to the coach of the player we went to scout. Does anyone recognize the picture? Maybe Davis okayed the reply but probably not. Our guy goes by the handle the know-tortious RJB. I got a little nervous when I saw RJB in your post.

Early signing period is November 10-17. I'd love to get one more commit for the early signing period - preferably a big man or tall wing player who can shoot and score. I also prefer a high school/prep school player (but a JUCO player would be fine).

I can confirm we have spent a lot of time at Macomb CC and Henry Ford CC. I am friends with coaches at each school. I would be surprised it we don't see 1-2 local juco kids on the roster next year.
