About Allan »

A basketball junkie before anyone in Toronto paid much attention to the sport, I followed college basketball and NBA hoops since the early 1960's and had the opportunity of playing at a high level. I ended up going to law school, instead of going into an area which would have nurtured my love of basketball, but still had the opportunity of coaching at the high school level. The birth of the Raptors was a long time dream come true for me and I am enjoying every single minute.

Allan Wexler commented on Toronto Raptors' Fourth-Quarter Illusions by Jay Triano

Chalmers went off because he was being guarded by Jose Calderon, who is the worst man defender in the NBA. This team has a serious problem...

Hey Allan—Jeff here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our NBA page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at jeff@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Jeff

Very strange... not quite sure why that's happening, but all I really did was break up a few paragraphs and fix the format (mainly bolding things to make it clearer and easier to read). Great work on the article though!

Hey Allan,

I hope you've been enjoying the new and improved Bleacher Report—we're really happy with the feedback we've received so far.

Just thought I'd let you know that next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements, and thus it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Allan!
