Message: [QUOTE="Citrusdog, post: 3455346, member: 5240"] I love KO. But, his personal difficulties brought on the situation regarding his coaching status. He made some mistakes - really screwed up his life and family and now is pursuing an avenue of entitlement - tainted with pride. I don't know the 'legalities' or specifics of his contract but; I would recommend he get his 'real life' together first. Rather than throw a fit over money/contracts/whatever. I think his personal peace, sanity - and family should be his focus. But like most - he is allowing anger, revenge and bitterness drive his actions. I witness the man's personal health and responsibilities. (I know nothing of the contract or obligations - so I cannot speak to that.) Is achieving this result going to make him feel better? He needs to make sure his children are okay mentally and emotionally - after the debacle he brought on to his family. The lawsuit thing is merely just something I've heard a psychologist friend of mine call 'displacement'. He is trying funnel his emotions (anger, bitterness, revenge, disappointment, etc...) - somewhere - because punching wall is is not feeding the need. If a contract states he is to be paid - pay him. If not - don't. Justice and truth must survive. Personal feelings, emotions and being part of a prior team - don't matter. Enlisting others to stoke a media stunt for pressure - shows poor character. Oh, that's right - lawyers are involved... Kevin Ollie needs to make things right - with his family. KO, thefamily is more important - than your lawsuit. [/QUOTE]
