Someone needs to find out if Doeren carries a cell phone. If he does, I'm sorry to say the jury is still out. He could be speaking with the phone by his ear or, even worse, just phone his talk in.

It starts with looking into a person's eyes, a handsake and a pat on the shoulder to make it all human & real.

Yep. I am S L O W to catch on....Doeren has a real coach's presence about himself. Was use of a cell or video conf line what other NIU HC's have done with CCL events?
