Only in the World of the NBA does things like this happen. Good for him.

Don't college coaches at his level end up making more than most NBA coaches?

I don't think so. I think only a handful of them make over $5 million per year. Beilien was making $3.4 M at Michigan. Jay Wright, for instance only makes $2.5 million I think. Lon Kruger makes $3M.. Shaka Smart $3M. Izzo makes less than $5M. Maybe if you're Coach K or Sean Miller you get up there.

This is a guy who is a loner, believes the earth is flat, and struggles with mental health issues. Not trying to judge the guy, just seems like a very, very odd choice by the NBAPA.

That said, he'll probably luck into the NC job after their terrible season.
It's like that on the Chicago Bulls Twitter for a while already, I guess I'm not the only one here that does that frequently.jc23 wrote:

Pretty great YT series, Q and Miles always going in depth about the Chicago/IL HS basketball scene back in the 00s.
Anyway, interesting bits:
- Wade partied until 5am at Q's Chicago pad the day of the Bulls/Heat afternoon playoff game (game 3, 06 I'm assuming?). Explains why the Kirk Bulls made that series look close?
- 2010 Lebron and Wade had Chicago on the top of the list, but that 3rd max pushed Miami to top, and they had concerns about sharing the ball with pre-MVP Rose.
- He had some cool mentors and coaches. They gave a shout out to their HS assistant coach Gary Adams; seems he passed away shortly after this interview happened.

at what point does he talk about the heatles? that's a really interesting tidbit about derrick and sharing the ball. hadn't thought about that angle
still pretty obvious to me that chicago would have been the best spot for them to win a bunch of titles
rose/wade/deng/lebron/noah, jimmy/taj/asik/ring chasers
c'mon

Something I've wondered about is how the Bulls couldn't clear Deng's salary. I wonder what they offered teams to take him.
If they knew that getting LeBron, Wade, and Bosh would have been a done deal if they had the space, they should have offered up a couple of firsts to get it done. Or what ever it takes.
