Crazy news about Rooks. He had an interview in NYC earlier today for an assistant coaching job with the Knicks. Took the train back to Philly, was set to leave for China tomorrow. Collapsed and died in a restaurant in Philly.

One random nugget in the article about his death is this...

Rooks also had an offer to become head coach of the Charlotte Hornets’ new NBA Development League affiliate.


Had anyone else heard that we had even starting interviewing head coaches for the Stinkbugs?

Sad news for Rooks. Awful. Any ideas of the cause of death?

RIP Rooks.

Tough guy.

Thanks for the honesty.
