They’re heroic. These coaches personify the values that they’ve taught to their players and students.
A few of those values are courage, selfless devotion to others, and doing what is morally right. Saving other people’s lives is never a mistake.
Football coaches always seem to put themselves in harms way to protect students from violence. Does that mean all those hits they took as young players made them heroic or not very smart?
Kupchak was unfairly punished because of his association with moron Jimmy Buss. Mitch HAD to do what this imbecile said, so long as Jeannie kept her brother at the wheel. Hopefully, Kupchak will find happiness within Jordan’s organization, and the Lakers will get what Karma delivers.
