Working With Loved Ones

I can’t decide if Reggie Theus, new head coach of the Kings, was a bigger star on this Saturday morning hit show or in his new position as bench boss.

What I have decided is Louisville coach Rick Pitino definitely has a bit of a thang for Mr. Theus. In the Sacramento Bee today, Pitino describes his feelings for Reggie when he hired his long time friend in 2003:

Because Reggie is such a good-looking, dynamic guy people get the wrong impression. I remember when he called me about the job. He called me three times, and finally I said, ‘Reggie, you’re the last person who should work for me.’

I’m sure it would be difficult to coach looking down the bench and seeing your heart throb winking back. I’m sure it would be just as difficult to coach while pitching a tent. The article also suggests the Kings made the final decision to hire Theus based on Pitino’s recommendation. Yikes! Guess who just purchased Kings bench side seats?

    I actually remember when this show came on…ahhh childhood, and the brunette chick was a hottie. So can we now expect that Craig T. Nelson is in the running for an NFL job? And are Wayne Gretzky, Bo Jackson, and Michael Jordan finally going to form an unstoppable crime fighting and PSA making force using sports related weapons?? Please..

    I think the real talking point of all this is the mystery of the disappearing Daniella Deutscher. That girl sure could shoot.
