Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 4359062, member: 271"] Purvis had some limitations, many of which disappeared when he got to the NBA. I actually think he could have stuck in the league with persistence. He played great in Summer League and the open floor really helped him. He looked more like a pg out there. Europe may truly be his choice because of the job security it provides him. Rodney was the guy staying after games and signing autographs, meeting kids and taking pictures at a time when the program was declining. He was a great ambassador, and frankly he still is. He’s pumping up Danny’s program, if it is at KO’s expense, so be it. KO got paid about 23 million dollars to run our program into the ground. He can take some hits. Lastly, KO did coach that 2014 team. Shabazz did plenty, but KO played the right guys, made the right adjustments and instilled unwavering confidence. Who didn’t love him calling that both the Villanova and ISU games were in our control and we’d win the games during his halftime interviews? His was unwavering in his belief in that team in March.
