He had no clue that somehow this would lead to another chance at a dream that for so long seemed so far out of reach. He was, simply, sending an e-mail. It was about a year and a half ago, and he was looking for money not necessarily employment and he figured he might as well try the commissioner, David Stern. Washington wanted a donation for his charitable foundation's medical clinic in Nairobi. He estimated the NBA collects at least $1 million annually in fines from suspensions and technical fouls, and that money goes to charity. So ... "I wrote to him and said, 'I think you guys should be able to help with the fine money,' " Washington said. </div> Source
It's good to see people are finally forgiving Kermit. He was just acting in self defense. There was a fight going on during the game and when someone is running at you full speed at your back, you're gonna turn around and try and stop him. He had no idea Rudy was just going to break up the fight. Washington was basically poor from all of the donations he made( I read the book if you're wondering how I know this). I think he could be a good coach, I hope he seizes this opportunity, and makes the best of it.
