I really liked Amir. He was one of the few "flyers" I'd mentioned during our last coaching search that I wouldn't hate. Loved the way he and his teams approached the game. He seemed to be one of the genuinely good guys in college basketball and his loss will have a greater impact than many realize. The college game is lesser because of his loss and feel for his family, friends, and the USF community.

I recall him being a guy a lot of us wanted to go after once WSU let Isaac Brown go. I think last year was just the beginning for him. Such a shame.The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.Comment

I'm really surprised we didn't land him all things considered....Originally posted by rjl View Post
Terribly sorry for his family.
Anybody know the procedure he was undergoing? I smell a bad anesthesiologist if this was outpatient.
*EDIT* Oh, I just saw that it was an "aggressive illness". I thought I read something else, earlier.Comment
