I’m absolutely not even taking a side you are probably both right in some points . Just chuckling because because while completely not relatable since money so much less and no relocation in 1996 when I partnered with my then partner it happened over a lunch then when he died in 2000 my new partner who I had known for a couple years a deal was struck over a 10 minute call march of 2020 ( when we all had to work from home for covid ) our second partner joined September of 2000 while appetizers were still being served ( eating outside during covid ) our 3rd partner joined over a drink at that same restaurant in 2022 our 4th partner joined after 1 meeting after our introductory dinner and our last 2 assistants had to decide yes or no the day we interviewed them
You know damn well EVERY situation is different, with its own nuances, personalities, details and challenges.
So my wife and I took two weeks to decide not to sell my company for a huge profit because of a proviso to move to San Diego and remain managing it, I had no desire to do either. If I was selling, I was gone. My wife shared my desire to stay on the East Coast where our families and friends were. But the $’s were more than just a little enticing and we went through the “we can always come back” after the two year commitment ended but decided it just wasn’t for us.
Why is it even a controversy to challenge the arrogance of people who think they can tell other people how to run their lives, what are proper time frames to make THEIR decisions? And how to announce THEIR decision? Etc., etc………
IMO, private decisions are just that, and no one else’s f’ing business, end of story.
I IM’d Paultzman at least an hour before the announcement that I had heard on fairly good authority Hurley was staying; why privately rather than posting?
Because it was none of my damn business.
 
Well I was wrong about this. Thought Hurley for sure would jump at the chance to get off the NIL/transfer portal hamster wheel that college ball has become. Especially for a job as prestigious as the Lakers. It’s a positive for the BE that he’s staying, every league needs a villain and he’s also a good foil for Pitino.

It is amazing to me how sometimes these posts get off track, out of control and personally nasty. Just unnecessary. Yeah, it is the off season, with not much else to talk about, but come on, this affects none of us and should not cause otherwise rational posters to attack one another. SMSH.
 
The operative words in your post “ otherwise rational posters “ 😭, which is why I avoided the topic for the most part. Best of luck to Danny Hurley in his decisions. Man has worked super hard to get where he is and the great success that he has attained. Who the hell am I to suggest what he should do ?

I have known Danny Hurley for 30+ years and the way he has been referred to and referenced to on this board offends me, plain and simple. I know that doesn’t bother you and I have no problem with that but I consider him a friend, certainly not a close one but a friend nonetheless.
One recent criticism irked the piss out of me and that is the ridicule of his relationship with his father, I talked things over with my Dad and weighed his advice until the day he passed because I respected his opinion and judgement and I was never arrogant enough or stupid enough to not seek it because of my age.
I have mostly stayed out of the unwarranted petty jealous criticisms floated on this board; if SJU had hired him there is no doubt in my mind those same posters would be praising his passion during games and his loyalties otherwise.

The problem that I have with him is his on court demeanor. He acts like a spoiled brat!
He could drop the theatrics and I would have no problem with him. He is a great coach and winning big time. He should learn to do it with some class.

Just think life's too short for the petty back and forth, especially in the context of something we all share a joint passion for. JM2C.
