Dunlap wants credit for championships
A group of us hoopster were sitting around talking when one of the guys said he was talking with Dunlap and he said he was the one who laid the foundation for Smyth to win his championships.Just wondering what others thought about this statement.I offered firstly Smyth took over from Claxton not Dunlap.Cattalini was a basket case under both Smyth clearly got the best out of him he became a superstar .Mee and Brookes were recruited by Smyth as was Rees.Davis had been with us and Dunlap was trying to get rid of him and he also played great for Smyth.Marsy was going to be a champion where ever he played he was a gun when he came out of the A.I.S.In fact he played well under Shipway.Sapwell was on the way out and was struggling Smyth thinned him down and gave him confidence and he became a spark off the bench.Rillie was recruited by Dunlap so he could claim him but if that's a foundation please stop trying to talk yourself up.Ninnis and Brogan were 9 and 10 and he didn't even have anything to do with them.Why do the American coaches try to sell themselves so much and want credit for stuff they never did especially if an Aussie guy gets a better result?
