RR23,
If the pundits are correct and he did inform the BC players of this news, this is his biggest challenge yet.
Coach Aoki is known as Mik, short for Mikio.
I talked with him last Wednesday night. While the issue of the new job was not mentioned, it was clear he had a very busy week and was really doing his homework.
Despite that, he was as nice as could be.
Sure wish him all the best.
