I was told once that you will never be a good coach, without getting your backside handed to you at least once. I think they meant that it's the impetus to improving your craft. Probably could go for any skill or profession, imo.

The real question is, who would want him?

[TOO]

Who could have seen this coming? Been saying it for years, he doesn't even like basketball, he's Andrew Bynum.

So I should thank my boss for chewing me out yesterday…? Didn’t feel all that motivated somehow. Hmm.

Alvarado is out from a hamstring injury. Pelicans are following the Grizzlies into history.
