Had no idea he was even sick

With Bill Walton, you just can't help but think of those somewhat damning words -- What Could Have Been. 

Dude was a phenomenally talented player. But once he got into the NBA, he just couldn't stay healthy. 

I know there were lawsuits and reports of misdiagnoses and all that, I also know the guy could ball. Probably would've been a top 5 all-time center had he not been hurt all the time. Just had a feel for the game most big men don't have.

Oh no! Shining through the random, off topic, frustrating announcing was an incredibly sweet-natured guy who loved his fellow man.

He will be sorely missed.

Well stated Stu!

Another reminder life is short and cancer sucks.  

very sad news.

Tremendous player, better announcer, and even better human. This world would be a much better place if there were more Bill Waltons in it

One of my favorite announcers and definitely top 5 people I’d like to have dinner and a doobie with

The Covid year never ends. Chris Ledlum and Jordan Dingle are suing for another year of eligibility because the Ivy League cancelled the 20-21 season. So, in effect, they didn’t get a Covid year. I see their point, but I’m completely over 24-25 year old men playing in college.

Ledlum and Dingle lose in court. They’re done.

Good. I could see that opening a whole new can of worms if they had won.

[LIHoosier 26,703]

That brings the Washington Generals NCAA to 1-479 in court this year.

I don't think they sued the proper entity.  The NCAA didn't cancel their 20-21 season.  While they couldn't have gotten their season back, they could have attempted to sue the Ivy League for canceling the season.

That said......if they can't beat the NCAA in court, NO WAY are they going to beat the Ivy League.

Tim Buckley leaving South Carolina to join Wes Miller’s staff at Cincinnati. The guy is a great add for literally any staff.

Not even really a good career at OkSt either...

Good assist #'s but not much else. 45% from the FT line is atrocious. 

His steal numbers were pretty good.....both on and off the court.

Cincy is seemingly setting up to have their season that vaults Miller into the next level of coaches.

Miller didn’t do that well last year.  I listen to WLW and a lot of fans wanted him fired.  He’s actually on the hot seat.  Next level coaches, I don’t see it.  He’s just trying to save his job

Looks like Caleb Love withdrew from the NBA Draft and heading back to Arizona.

Always a bridesmaid...

Rothstein - Oregon's N'Faly Dante has been denied an additional year of eligibility by the NCAA. Dante only played six games during the 20-21 season due to a knee injury. Also only played 12 games in 19-20 when NCAA Tournament was cancelled. The Ducks will appeal the decision.

Would think that'll have some relevance to Goode next offseason unfortunately.

20-21 was the COVID year so I can understand why the NCAA didn't care that he played only 6 games early in the season. In a normal year, that would give another year of eligibility but he already got that.

In 19-20, the 12 games were in the 2nd half of the season, like Goode's games the year he was hurt. It's not surprising they denied the waiver for that and I agree that it does show how they'd likely rule on Goode. Although in this case he also played 12 games, which might be too many. Regardless, I've never seen Goode as likely to get a waiver and this just strengthens that opinion.
