Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 5024035, member: 26"] Maybe some are not surprised - I was very surprised. Really thought the lure and $ and publicity and opportunity might sway him. So glad I was wrong. Feels like Christmas! Like many, I felt the culture in LA was not right for him. He's just not a "west coast vibe" guy. Plus managing a bunch of NBA guys is FAR different from doing so at the college level. AND not only has he BUILT something great at UConn, he's still building it. I'm thrilled he's returning, and so proud to be a UConn fan. I'm sure UConn has ponied up something great to keep him, but I think it's a class act on his part all the way around. I think he will be better off choosing a team when the time is right for him. I live in LA and I don't like the Lakers so... LA can go suck it! And so can Kentucky. [/QUOTE]
