Wasn't this supposed to have happened a month or two ago and then the rumor was that Allen bad-mouthed Pritchard and the Pacers decided against hiring him? If this is true, I guess that wasn't the case--either Allen didn't bad-mouth Pritchard or it didn't really phase Indiana.
If you actively bad-mouth someone your no better than that person, thus rendering your whiny opinion weak. Good for KP, perfect fit IMO. Indiana loves their corn fed home grown white boys! Anyone see 30 for 30, Reggie Miller vs. the New York Knicks? http://30for30.espn.com/film/winning-time-reggie-miller-vs-the-new-york-knicks.html
Same goes IMO. But if somebody is seeking your opinion fervently than I'm all for being honest. However, I don't believe our thoughts and feelings are to be trusted as a basis for reality.
KP not given a contract and is available to leave at anytime, lol! http://ken-berger.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/11838893/30522747
I'm going to like the drama this creates amonst us Blazer fanatics. I'm also glad to see him being proactive with his career. Sounds like he wants to work his way back into a position instead of holding out, expecting to be handed a high profile job. I was always pretty surprised trader bob never latched on to another front office, that guy could nab some talent.
Good for KP, and probably good for the Pacers. I like how at-will employment is so foreign to pro sports. Ed O.
Yeah, that shockes me as well. I understand how players/owners have to follow the CBA. But with manegement and coaches? We we're paying two GM's neither of whom was working for the team. The Sixers at one time were paying I think 5 coaches? I understand how the big name Phil Jackson and Jerry West can command long high dollar guaranteed deals, but when an assitant coach gets a head coaching job with a 500% raise I bet he would gladly accept an at-will or 1 year contract. I never understood why owners always give out multi-year guaranteed contracts to all management.
