Re: ok: who coached JJ?

I remember that draft day when we had three picks. The espn reporter was interviewing Obie about Kedrick and Obie said "the boston fans are going to be amazed by this kids talent, he's a highlight reel." (something like that, I have it on tape but too lazy to look it up)
Meanwhile we had just drafted JJ the pick before. Ugh!
I cannot say enough how glad I am that Danny has cut the head off of the Kentucky connection. I also remember that they had Pitino on as a commentator. He said Wallace thought he had found a diamond in the rough with Kedrick, unfortunately he was more like a Cubic Zirconia on the driveway.

Yeah, sorry, I was pissed off, which tends to turn my brain off ,and so made the same mistake again. My error. Although as I keep saying with greater accuracy <g>, since the same thing occurred for 2 years in Phoenix - the Phoenix people were still talking about the same problems on the radio broadcast when they were in town this year, even though he's been more consistant this season - I still think people are wrong in blaming Obie. *shrug* whatever I guess.

Kinda like, "Who Shot JR?" Well, I remember blaming it on O'Brien at the time. The year was 2001; was Pitino here? I remember JJ having that brilliant start and then fading, then getting replaced by Kedrick a bit, then getting traded while Wallace sat in the stands with a depressed look on his face. To me, it was one of O'Brien's great failures. Do I remember it wrong? O my. I teach history; is it getting time to pull a Pitino?
