Oh god, how awful, yes he was apparently jay-walking but hardly a death penalty crime. Deepest condolences to the Adelman family and the Rockets.
As someone who has worked downtown and went to school at PSU for roughly the past 8 years, the number of people who just cross the street without looking is astounding. They either don’t look at all, or they just assume people will stop for them. Mostly it’s college kids listening to music, but this is a sad example of what can happen when you cross a street without a walk sign.
His other sons Pat and David and his daughter Kathryn aren't really class acts. Pat had a racist thing and David and Kathryn are drunk drivers (repeat offenders).
I wasn't going to mention it, but you're exactly right - his kids have not been great members of society.
Damn! And he was part of the national championship team at Willamette University in Salem, OR. http://www.wubearcats.com/hof/teams/1993mbasketball?view=bio
