Kidd was a horrible in game coach. Most of the time it was Sean Sweeney making the decisions. I wouldn't be surprised if the Mavs poach him back from the Spurs to be their new coach. Add to this the necessary purge of all people associated with the Luka trade & he had to go. Kidd didn't like...
I went to watch Adrien play yesterday at my home course the DAC. On the final hole he needed to chip up and hole the putt to qualify. He left it about 4 feet past the hole & nailed the putt. Pretty cool to see his UofI golf bag. Talked to him briefly & he is such a good guy.
Brunson wanted a 4 year 55 million dollar deal & they wouldnt give it to him. One of Cuban's biggest mistakes, maybe even bigger than letting Steve Nash walk.
Thanks to Coach BB for having a Happy Hour with the Dallas Illini Club yesterday. I had never met Coach before & really enjoyed talking with him about the upcoming season.
Retaining him really surprised me. They need to get a younger, energetic, now assistant coach somewhere that needs a first time head coaching gig who can bring excitement as well as recruiting buzz. Just my opinion but I think it would have energized the fan base.
After watching Cooper put up 51 friday & 45 last night he is something special. You can't fully understand what he does until you see him in person close up.
Drove over to watch them play LSU right before Xmas that season. OMG- I dont think I have ever seen an Illinois team play like they did that night. Completely destroyed them in Baton Rouge.
