isn’t Green a potential Football Basketball guy?

They say so but I just wonder how that's going to work. If football is successful and makes the playoffs it rolls into January, and then Spring practice is in March. It's feasible in baseball because the season doesn't start til February and Spring practice ends while there's still a lot of baseball to be played, and baseball rosters are much bigger so it's easier to fill in a gap for a few weeks. Whereas basketball starts in November when the most meaningful football is going on and Spring practice is going on when the most meaningful basketball is being played, and missing a guy in basketball is harder to replace because of roster size and the impact one player can make.
