When Chris Ballard took over as general manager of the Indianapolis Colts, he said the roster would be rebuilt through the draft. He wasn’t kidding. It’s tough to go from where the Colts were to becoming a Super Bowl champion. When the Colts were rolling in the 2000s, they had four players on the offensive […]
My son played college basketball, and there wasn’t a day while he was at Loyola of Chicago that I didn’t hope coaches and trainers were intently looking after his well being. Health is everything, and I know coaches can be blinded by the need to win. I didn’t care much about winning – I just […]

The Pacers have an opportunity to benefit regardless of what George believes is best. If George wants out, adios muchacho! Don’t let the […]
Firing someone is never easy. Whether done for financial or qualitative reasons, making the call to fundamentally change the life of a person in your charge – and his or her family – is tough. It’s not just hard because of the upheaval it causes the person being told to scram. Termination is the final […]
