I’ve written a few times about John. He’s a humble guy who’s done lots of kids lots of good. Find another coach with 900 wins who also mops his own basketball floor. In the wake of Saturday, it’s good to remember the John Hurleys. Many, many congratulations, coach.
I CAN’T RESIST BECAUSE I AM A PIG-HEADED IRISHMAN so I will indulge myself one, final incendiary thought re Saturday: If I am a hypocrite for regurgitating the words of Sean Kilpatrick, then condemning the riot, isnt Chris Mack as well? Isnt he equally hypocritical? Does anyone believe the X coach did not alert his players to Kilpatrick’s quote?
Mack is regarded as the king of social media among quasi-am basketball coaches. Maybe he didnt make sure his guys knew of Kilpatrick’s inflammatory words. That’s a little hard to believe. though. More likely, Mack found a place for SK’s nugget on a bulletin board somewhere, virtual and/or real. In so doing, didnt he inflame his players, in the same fashion some have accused me of doing?
