re: Bob Starkey appreciation thread....but he is the enemy tonight...

Starkey was offered the job and said that he had no desire to take on the responsibilities of being a head coach. He is recognized as one of THE BEST coaches in the game. I think it would've been difficult for Nikki to keep him around because he's a better, more seasoned coach than she is at this point. It might've made things very awkward. As it is things have worked out. He's working with another one of the best coaches in the game and we have a young, up and coming coach who will be with the program for years.
