re: Offseason front office moves announced

Amy Atmore seems to be heading up the medical staff now, and Nelson has moved into an advisory role.

I think our initial reaction was a little bit of a mischaracterization for Atmore's role. She is not the "head of the medical staff", she is the Director of Rehabilitation, which appears to be a new position. It looks like Nelson was moved out of sight and they added a physical therapist rather than she is Nelson's replacement.

One thing that is odd, on the Pels staff listings they have her listed under Basketball Operations rather than Athletic Training. ie She probably reports to Griff, Trajan or Swin rather than Nelson or head trainer Tom Maystadt. I don't know if that's a website mistake, or if it's to give her autonomy to go against the training staff.
