In addition, the signings of Angel McCoughtry and Danielle Robinson had to be instrumental in Dan Padover’s winning of the Executive of the Year Award. It is the first time he won the honors.
Dan Padover was the liaison between league / IMG Academy / Coaches and GM’s. There was much planning . Was a chance that this season be played in Vegas, he & BL took the lead. Dan showed GREAT leadership very unselfish effort. Wout his work this doesn’t get done! Great selection
