	Take a look at what what was written. What I said was fact. Read
the previous post. Look where it says, "Seattle(?)". For those people who
did not know, I informed them that Gaze had a full tryout with the Sonics.
Because of the question mark by Seattle's name, I elected to clarify this
point. If you wish to provide additional details, be my guest. If you want
to attack my information, do so. If you want to make snide insinuations
as to my information, save your fingers. I don't want to hear it. If you can
rebut any of the facts I have listed, please do so. All I am going to tell you
is what I saw when Gaze tried out for the Sonics. The Sonics are the team I
follow almost to the exclusion of all others. I saw Gaze when he tried out.
I saw the coaches' evaluation of him. He didn't come close to making the
roster. He didn't shoot well enough, pass well enough, or defend well enough,
and a guy by the name of Marty Conlon was kept over Gaze. These are the facts.
I live in Seattle. I watch them closely. I do not know if Gaze was wanted or
would have made the other teams listed above. * If you care to read my post,
nowhere in it do I make any contradiction of anything posted in the original
post- just clarification.* But if contradiction is what you want, here is is.

	 I can tell you this- there is no way Andrew Gaze would have made the
Seattle Supersonics the year following his initial tryout. Please
take note of this- I am not referring to his original failure. I am referring
to your statment he'd have made the team the second time around. No. There 
wasn't even any word in Seattle, not even a rumor, that Seattle was interested
in Gaze. Again, I will say I do not know about the other teams. I know about
Seattle.


	P.S. Why don't more posters read, period, before they comment......

		it's a shame to all other usenet people....
