[MTHusky]

Although I dislike Duke, I wouldn't wish ill will on anyone. Link

Not an OT topic. Anything related to WCBB is not OT. Even stuff going on in the WNBA is not OT. Having said that, best wishes to McCallie for a speedy recovery.

"Duke women's basketball coach Joanne P. McCallie is taking a medical leave of about two months to have kidney treatment. The school says in a statement Monday she was diagnosed last November with the unspecified issue and will undergo short-term treatment."

I hope it's nothing serious. Kidney issues can be tricky and difficult. Get well soon JM!

I know folks around here aren't great fans of Coach McCallie, but I've been a fan of hers all the way back to her days at Maine -- she took the Black Bears places they'll probably never go to again. Best to her.

I was a big (big) critic, but think she resurrected her coaching career
after being (rightly) called on the carpet.

Good on her.

Hope her recovery is smooth...at her best, she's just fine.

Me and my big mouth! Asking forgiveness and wishing JPM a speedy recovery.
The forgiveness is for a post I made a few weeks back saying that Coach JPM was not looking healthy.

God Bless You Coach P and thoughts and prayers to you and your family for good treatment....

As someone who has had 2 kidney surgeries, I wish JPM the best!

Sounds like it might not be overly serious. Here's hoping anyway. Good luck to Coach P

Wish coach all the best.
My baby had a transplant and was back to work in 6 weeks.
Frankly, the worst time was the couple months of dialysis she had to endure before pre-scheduled surgery was done.
PS: I realize no one said such was going to be done but - dialysis - can make you look and feel pretty bad.

God bless Coach McCallie!

As a fellow kidney-diseased person, I can only wish JPM the best of luck. The treatments for kidney disease range from fairly easy and doable early on, to rather awful later in the game.

Best wishes, coach JPM.
