CSF Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Per ESPN News reported by Ric Bucher. Damn, that was quick. Kobe claiming another victim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 It has to be health reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSF Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Feb 1, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) It has to be health reasons. That's what I'm thinking. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if Kobe didn't factor into the decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxfan79 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I just saw the headline on ESPN. Was it personal reasons? or was it you know who? Did anybody hear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I hope to hell his cancer didn't come back. If I recall thats kind of why he left the Rockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 It says its a combination of a dissapointment in the teams performance and health reason. Something juicier will likely leak out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something juicier will likely leak out. That's what I read too. Looks like Frank Hamblen will take over the coaching duties. It will be hilarious if it comes out Kobe had something to do with this.

Winning Ugly Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Lakers radio reports it's due to his recent stomach infection and the team not responding to him. However, The Lakers brass has not confirmed that he is in fact stepping down. He wasn't at practice again today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 lol Kobe probably did do something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Ah... Well, best of luck to Rudy T. He's a class act. I don't think he would have accepted such a high-stree position, knowing his heath was going to be an issue. Let's just hope that whatever snuck up on him is treatable.

kapkomet Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 What a joke. Bring Phil back. *cough cough* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I thought it was weird that the reason he left the Rockets was health reasons/his cancer and then he got this job; he hasn't looked good on the sidelines this year but I just assumed it was wear and tear. Is the Phil stuff for real, or just joking? In that case, maybe Larry Brown has a new dream he'd like to fulfill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Tis for real as reported by Bucher on SportsCenter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
