Listened to Goldmine Live a little bit ago. Mike Hill has had bigger fish to fry, but its time to reboot Goldmine Liveā¦ Some of my own random thoughts on how to make it better:
Change the time of the show. Make it accessible to Alums and Fansā¦ Need to keep the students involved but you need to have it in the evening. Just because it was a dud at Hamās or other places years ago doesnāt mean we shouldnāt make it better.
Change the location. Hopefully this Heist event (sold out) is the impetus for getting this off campus and getting the city at large involved. Find a place near the light rail line to keep the students involved.
Get this event more interactive. Live questions are a crap shoot, but use twitter and email to get some life to the event.
Give stuff away: Have a question of the week winnerā¦ A fan of the weekā¦ A Junior Niner of the weekā¦ Give a mini helmet or a mini football/basketball/baseball signed by the coach, players etcā¦ People eat that stuff up.
Players- make sure you have a couple each week. Talk about the games and their Charlotte experienceā¦ Have a āgetting to know ______ā segment. Healy wants kids in the community, Iām sure all of the other coaches do as well. Let the kids be the faces of the programs
Having attended previous coaching shows I think its a loser. You are never going to get enough people there every week to make it worth while for any party involved.
I prefer the once a quarter meet the coaches events for fanbase outreach.
Iād rather they make a weekly coachesā show to be broadcast on UNCCTV and Youtube where itās an interviewer and guests in a professional production and not with an audience. A.J. Mead was doing something similar for a while and I thought that would be a better format with game highlights and such.
Better location, better time, better interaction and better performance.
Bobbyās shows were great. He interacted with the folks there, players were usually really nice too. We were also winning so the brought out more folks.
I think there is big value in our players and coaches being out where general public can see them, but that only works if itās at a worthwhile location. Heist is probably a good place, near campus but in an area populated by former alums and potential customers. I think thatās super important with Healy and his skill set.
If we are going to keep it on campus and at an early time might as well forget the show part and just do what football now said.
Thatās the key brotherā¦ No one wants to go hear a coach talk after a 6-3 loss to ODU or the basketball team that has 7 winsā¦
If you build it, they will come applies hereā¦ Need to build that winning tradition back up. People want to toast their beers in celebration, not cry in them
Iām sure the title nine police will blast me for this but during basketball season leave it to menās basketball coaches and players only. I would agree with having it later in the evening to get alums and fans involved and also open it up to a over the phone or social media.
If UNCW can have a coachās show for 30 minutes on network TV we should be able to as well. I live over an hour away from UNCW campus and I can watch their show. No excuse that it couldnāt be better.
