Tony Paul has been a friend to WMU and the lone wolf in the Detroit media who provides coverage of our great school. Kathy B said it best 2/3 of WMUs alumni come from Metro Detroit we should get our due in the Detroit market. On another note based on her interview response to losing the former coach, I sense a real cooling in the relationship between KB and Dr. Fleckenstien.

I totally agree w/ you and am very happy to see the Detroit News cover WMU so well.

Tony Paul has definitely led the way w/ WMU coverage. But, I don't think he's a lone wolf anymore. I've seen good WMU articles from other Detroit News sports writers. They're doing a great job.

I just wonder why local Kalamazoo newspapers can't do interviews like this too.

Agree with this. I give KB credit though... she was much more diplomatic in her answer than she could have been. A true professional.

Kalamazoo has a newspaper?

Very diplomatic, and poised response:

A: The entire process went just so fast, and he'd be one of the first to talk about change, and change is never easy. It's hard. Obviously, the relationship we had was tremendous, in working together and working for the same goals and objectives, but I also knew there was going to be a day when he was going to move on. Whether it was gonna happen the way it did, as quickly as it did, I think that sometimes does draw emotion. We certainly are much better off after his time at Western Michigan. We'll continue. We're so excited to have Tim Lester back, he's home with us, and certainly we wish Coach Fleck and all his staff and the team the best.

We're very fortunate to have her dedication and professionalism at Western and very happy to see she plans on staying on for some time.

Q: You just celebrated 20 years on the job, after a long coaching career at Western Michigan. How much longer do you want to stay as AD of the Broncos?

A: You know, I want to continue in this job as long as they want me. I love it at Western Michigan. We still have goals to achieve and I'm just as motivated as I have ever been. As long as they still want me to continue what I do, that's where I want to be.
