There’s an old saying, that “feedback is a gift”. I truly believe this, and have shied away from the words constructive criticism throughout my professional career. The word “criticism” has a negative connotation and therefore it evokes a defensive response to the feedback provided. Constructive or not, it doesn’t hit the ear right and creates barriers rather than the opportunity desired.
It’s been over a month since I have taken the reins as the managing editor and site manager for Bright Side of the Sun from Dave King. And I’ll tell you this, I’m absolutely loving it. I love this basketball organization, this writing team, this community, and I love this forum to analyze, theorize, and provide my thoughts on the state of the franchise.
