That's my understanding of what caused the falling out. Hurley wanted Calhoun to give one of his kids a look, and Calhoun was interested. After that, Hurley was never interested in Connecticut.
Not with LeBron who is still the coach and makes decisions
This definitely may be true, but I see staying as a HS coach when you have other options as a much bigger sacrifice than staying in college when you could coach the modern day Lakers.
Maybe being two of a kind was an issue?
At that salary there is no massive travel. Massive travel was my daily 2 hour NYC commute (from CT) sharing train seats with strangers for chump change.
I disagree. He would make adjustments where necessary. I also think JC would have been a success in the NBA if given a decent chance.
Doesn’t matter how luxurious that plane is because you are constantly changing time zones which is brutal on sleep. Also way more time away from his wife and family with that number of games in that NBA grind. So you take away recruiting which is an advantage on the pro side but obviously it’s something he can do in the future with even more money. He’s now making multi millions and quite comfy.
if you put it that way it evokes Pink Floyd’s “Wish you were Here” as there is a section about exchanging something difficult for comfort.
I kind of marvel at the coaching staff and thinking about how collectively they compliment one another. I think that Kimani has a massive positive influence and passion and at the same time remarkable self control (never loses his cool in the heat of battle). I think the best way to put it is that they all work together and this makes them much better than the sum of the parts. I really hope they stick together.
