Message: [QUOTE="Northbound, post: 3089631, member: 155"] The comparative to other programs is meaningless and has zero relevance to the contract and KO’s situation. If you sign the deal and you choose to not abide by all the terms you need to understand and be prepared to handle the conesquence of your actions, regardless of if you and others perceive the actions as technicalities. Its really pretty simple Here's the difference on personal lives - I'm betting most here don't have a high profile public profession. The off-court/field conduct is a part of the equation for any university whether you think it should be or not. I'm not saying that had any implication in this case, but if it did it's not unexpected. Also the idea that because you were a contributor to any team or hell even a company at one level and that should insulate you from critique or condemnation when you have a different role in that organization is flawed. Nobody is dismissing KO's past contributions, but at some point the his most recent current performance and his behavior will outweigh that in his legacy - tough, but true. You become a CEO because you were a great CFO, but you can't do the CEO gig, you're getting kicked out and that's the memory of employees and shareholders - your legacy isn't: Gary sure knew how to balance the books and was a picasso with spreadsheets* [SIZE=1]*Gary almost drove the company into financial ruin and the stock price tanked when he was CEO[/SIZE] It's the other way around. I've been consistent as well - he was a piss poor hire who should never have gotten the job to begin with because being a head coach at a mainstay top 20 basketball program is about WAY more than X's and O's - I said it when the rumors were out there and I said it after he was hired and I maintain that to be true today and I'm happy he's gone. I don't wish ruination on the man and his family and I certainly hope he gets a gig that works for him. [/QUOTE]
