Admirable restraint. If I had that, I’d be the proud recipient of one divorce and numerous restraining orders.

Good lord, why? Because he’s got local ties? I’m local and I’m one of us, so can I have the job? An NBA coach with zero college experience doesn’t interest me. Teaching and developing is an important part of college coaching (and something Ben didn’t show much aptitude for), and NBA coaches...
