What's the story here? Saw that pop up in some places but haven't seen the video of Kirk and Vance.

Italy is notorious for being pro-cash, especially at the traditional retail and grocery level. They've come up with all sorts of incentives to get more mom and pop stores to accept cards.

Its actually Wiel. Have been coaching pro basketball as a hobby for more than 20 years. That eventually led me to become the Head Coach for the CR National team about 4 years ago. Back on the IC Basketball premium board I had a thread I updated yearly with how things were going. Since this is...

Oh...no He was the coach when I was a JV manager. Great guy...he was always so kind to me. Will have to process this. I was a freshman JV manager...Coach Wiel was so excited when he learned I was from Costa Rica. He had a bought a horse down here and loved to practice his Spanish (he was a...

So now there's a backlash from the left on Twitter (fueled by bots apparently) because Machado thanked Trump. Or that she asked for Netanyahu for support. Or that she hasn't denounced the Gaza invasion. Or that she hasn't pledged to save the rainforests. The opposition in Venezuela depends on...

Yeah, I'm not sold on that as a blanket rule, particularly with young coaches. In a broad sense, think administrators can be too quick to fire coaches and don't really get at the root cause of issues. In this particular case, he's not a young coach though he still has a learning curve going...
