Sounds like John Rillie according to Boti Nagy.

WTF is going on with the 36ers...seems we're offering the head coach role to anyone who'll listen and they are all turning it down.

Also got a weird email from them saying they noticed I had read an email from them and wondered if I want a membership. Creepy.
