[Adios]

Very unfortunate. May he rest in peace.

 

[husky429]

RIP. Just as his son's NBA career is taking off. Terrible news.

 

[3rdbass]

Yeah RIP and hopefully his son can keep his mind on making an impression with the Celtics. Unfortunately this might hurt his chances.

 

[UConNation]

Wow. When I first read the OP's title I thought I read that Tremont was found deceased.

What an awful thing it is to lose a parent. What should be an incredibly happy time for his family is now clouded with grief. Praying for comfort for your family, Tremont.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Awful news for one of Connecticut's brightest talents. Not a Celtics fan, but now rooting hard for him to make the team out of camp.

Yeah RIP and hopefully his son can keep his mind on making an impression with the Celtics. Unfortunately this might hurt his chances.

Signed a two-way deal on Wednesday. So his father did get to see him make it to the league at least!

 

[ZenConn]

Wow. That is awful news. RIP.

 

[Austin316]

It was from his lips that he stressed how important education was in his family, and that Tremont's college selection would be based heavily on academics. I guess that proved tongue in cheek.

Now's not the time man

That’s not good at all. Seems suspect.

Nothing good happens at a Super 8 Motel.

He is the only recruit dad I have met in recent years. We sat together by chance at Brewster when Tremont played at Kent, and we talked all through the game. During every foul shot Tremont would come over to be coached by him rather than go to his team coach. Very nice guy and traveled to all away games, at least in the region. It was from his lips that he stressed how important education was in his family, and that Tremont's college selection would be based heavily on academics. I guess that proved tongue in cheek.

Geezus dude, what are you thinking? The man is dead.

 

[Guapo]

This is very sad news

 

[awfuldan]

Damn, so sad. RIP.

Also - that means Tremont played last night's summer league game after finding out his Dad died, right? Crazy. 9 assists to 1 turnover and 8 points on 50% shooting, to lead his team to the #1 seed in the Summer League tournament.

Terrible. RIP

I grew up on Kimberly Ave. My antennae are fully up.

My antennae are fully up.

Kudos upstater on correct grammatical use of antennae vs the incorrect antennas.

Unfortunate news regarding a man who apparently did well to enable his son good academic and athletic opportunities:

Wow, life really doesn't give you a break, even at your highest points.

 

[mauconnfan]

Sad news hope Tremont can somehow get through this tough timing.

 

[UCDaveD]

Wow RIP. Hopefully no foul play involved. You hear "found dead in a motel" and have to wonder.

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

Wow RIP. Hopefully no foul play involved. You hear "found dead in a motel" and have to wonder.

Not worth speculating on the obvious.
