Interview with Hamlett Tomorrow

2009-10-13T18:53:00Z

I'll be talking with Fire Head Coach Denis Hamlett tomorrow afternoon and (in what is becoming a weekly feature here...) I wanted to open the floor for you all to pose a few questions.

Try and get your questions in by 12 noon tomorrow and I'll do my best to get Hamlett to answer them for you. This will be my last post until tomorrow afternoon, when I'll be back with any news that Hamlett passes along.

What sparked Mapp's rise from the dead? He looked like college player until the last 2 games and now he's really contributing.

What's happening with the defense for next year?

I doubt he'll have any answers regarding next year's team because it's far too early for that. And, he also does not have any answers regarding this year's team.

I'll submit a question anyway.

Did Hamlett take anything away from last week's Crew-Revs game in which the Crew beat them on the road essentially fielding their B team? The Crew beat them without Hejduk, Marshall, Rogers, O'Rourke, Moreno, and Schelotto. Does DH have any canned excuses planned for the eventual mind numbing tie that's coming this weekend?

You can exclude the last sentence. There will be no excuse or reason good enough to justify coming away with less than three points on Saturday. The Revs have been and still are dealing with more crippling injuries than the Fire have this season. They also have a less talented roster, yet they are only three points behind somehow.

There have been 67 ties in MLS this year. Would coach like to see the MLS adopt some sort of a tiebreaker for next year?

I'm guessing your talking about regular season games yeah. Tie's are part of soccer, can't just change the rules to the rest of the world and FIFA to make it more exciting. Next will be wanting to make the goals bigger so it makes it easier to score.
Don't fix it if it's not broken.
