I'm happy for Rick as one of the greats, into his swan song in a city that he was built for. He has to be enjoying it, and taking a deprived fan base and city along for the ride. Enjoy it StJ's fans. Say what you want, the BE has coaches that bring color and personality and get a load of PR for it. It only helps the league.
Sets up for a lot of fun in the next few years, especially now that our little brother to the East is turning into a dumpster fire.
I think if there is any coach that can manage the fun to ensure expectations to win are met, it's Rick. I for one hope they go deep in the tourney, will only add to the festivities next year.
