Put Some More Change in the Coaching Carousel…
because it appears to be up and running as of late.
Marc Iavaroni has taken the healm of the Memphis Grizz (as noted in my completely satirical comments yesterday). Now a few minutes ago, my cell phone rang with the update that Jim O’Brien is the new coach of the Indiana Pacers. I wonder if he can convince Jermaine O’Neal he should stay?
And, to make things a little more interesting, the entire populus of Gator-land (and all the annoyingness that comes with those crazy people) is up in a tizzy (not a clue if this is a word, but I’m deposition punch-drunk at this point in the day/week) because Billy Donovan (the artist formerly known as Billy ”I’m buying a house in Lexington, because I’m going to coach the ‘cats” Donovan in these parts) has received a contract offer from the Orlando Tragic starting at $6 million per year. My former roommate, a dorky Gator himself, continuously told me that Florida could afford any bidding war with an NBA franchise. Well, my so-called friends, let the bidding begin.
