1.) Off the charts interpersonal skills
2.) Strong ability to recruit
3.) Below average coaching acumen
4.) For reasons that are unclear, just stopped working/recruiting[/quote]
They aren't unclear. He got cancer. Had Surgery. Got divorced. Father died.
After running that gauntlet of personal pain and suffering, everyone's perspective on life is going to change.[/quote]
BS, funny he and Mullin had reasons not to work but both had no problem cashing the paychecks. And your theory would have much more credence and both of them more credibility if either had truly walked away citing personal reasons creating an inability to do the job they were being paid very well to do. We all have tragedies and tough times in our lives.[/quote]
Yes, we all have tragedies. And we all deal with them in different ways but If any of us went through prostate cancer, surgery, several months away from work recovering, marital problems, and the loss of a father over the same year or two it's going its going to have an impact on our performance at work. Perhaps you wouldn't. But most everyone else is going to have that stuff impact their work performance.
If you want to say he was making too much money to let that happen, whatever. The guy is a human being. Chances are he's going to do what most human beings would do, regardless of the size of his paycheck.
You certainly don't have to cut him slack if you don't want to, but that doesn't change the fact that he went through a shitload of major personal trauma/tragedy in a short period of time. Nor does it change the fact that things like that affect most everyone's work performance.[/quote]
I never mentioned the size of the paycheck and funny, all that personal tragedy didn’t keep Lavin out of 5 star restaurants, etc. Also, affecting work performance is one thing, and I can certainly empathize and understand that, not making an attempt to do your job is an entirely different thing. That is what happened with both of our previous coaches and like I said prior, if you are so stricken that you can’t even try, do the right thing and step aside.
