Stix doing work
Happy to see him doing well. Definitely one of my favorite Huskies.
Also, for as good as he was at times, still felt he had potential to be an all time Husky. Not a knock on the guy, sometimes things just don't work out as planned.
Again not a knock on the guy, but his freak level of athleticism was much higher than his basketball skill

Going for those easy likes.
It depends on whether you have the ability and/or desire to coach. As a player, your talent/athleticism/skills matter a great deal, but none of those help you coach. Coaching is, obviously, more intellectual than athletic, so the skills to do one, aren't necessarily transferable to the other.Is there a point at which playing pro basketball, however you define it, is a worse option than saying getting into coaching?
Is there a point at which playing pro basketball, however you define it, is a worse option than saying getting into coaching? How much do they pay in the Doninican league?

Sticks will be playing in the DR again for the next couple months in the top league there. He will then be playing in Japan for the Oita Ehime Heat Devils.
He's been working really hard and wants another shot at the nba as he says this is the healthiest he's been in few years. He plans on trying to get a tryout or play summer league next year after his seasons in the DR and Japan.
He is trying to see if his schedule works out to play in the charity game in August. JC told him he could come up and train on campus but he leaves Friday for the league in the DR
Being from DR I can tell you he's doing pretty good as long as he spends his money there. The dollar can stretched pretty far in DR. $1 = $44 DR pesos. With a healthy salary he's living like a king.
Perhaps I've just done a really good job of blocking that game from my memory, but I had totally forgotten it was just a 3 point game with a little over a minute to go. Remembering that fact makes it sting even more...
DR has great private schools, and his kids will love the Caribbean life.Great info, thanks.
I hope he gets a shot, but if not, can catch on in Europe. Plenty of money to be made there, and he's got a family to take care of. Great guy, really pulling for him.
Problem is, Sticks has three kids, and needs to provide for them. I doubt they are in the DR.
