Where Are They Now?

Yep. This position allows him to "coach", but still collect his cash from his VT contract. Pretty smart move.

Aha--that explains the lower status job.

I spoke to James in the RAC before last season. Apparently he was "visiting" with Hewitt as the team was practicing that day in the RAC. Who knows, he may have been seeing what might be available or just networking in general.

He turned into a Cuban when it was beneficial to do so. Shouldn't have a problem becoming Caitlyn Larranaga to get on the $10 bill.

Not exactly true, I have an autographed Coach L picture from way before he went to Miami and his signature has the ~ over his last name. He has always signed his name that way, but it was Mason who didn't properly display his name.

 

[MasonFanatic]

I remember Coach L referencing Irish and Italian heritage while he was at Mason. He never once spoke of his Cuban roots until he stepped off the plane in South Beach.

 

[GMUSig03]

Fair enough, I personally always thought they were Italian.

[disgruntled]

Sounds like he plays for a Westhead/Hewitt team...not much low post activity...assuming he spends most of his time on the court and not the bench.

Georgia issues its own passports? I always imagined they were probably still sore over losing the Civil War, not being able to own slaves anymore, etc., etc., but it's been 150 years.

"Morrison is a 25 year old 205cm center that will play his second season with the Fraport Skyliners who gave him a one year contract extension. 'We are happy that we could hold Mike. In our eyes he is the ideal compliment to Johannes Voigtmann under the boards. He isn't only a hard worker that always plays with a lot of energy, but also a great guy that will compete with our young talents Niklas Kiel and Armin Trtovac in practice. We have continuity under the boards with him something that we wished for', stressed Fraport Skyliners manager Gunnar Wobke."
