Banshees Scream 107 Posted December 21, 2007 He ranks second on the all - time NBA wins list and is one of the most respected coaches in the game. He has had cancer for some time and it has spread throughout his body. I think he qualifies for a prime candidate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
football_fan 41 Posted December 22, 2007 He is on my 2007 DDP and CPDP lists and a possible candidate for my 2008 DDP list as well. The latest I heard was that he had an operation to remove cancerous growth from his lungs about 6 months ago. I have not seen anymore news about him since then.

Canadian Paul 93 Posted December 23, 2007 Probably the only decent suggestion out of all your new and pointless threads but, still, not really famous from a UK perspective and I'm not entirely certain that he'd get a UK obit. He's on my CPDP, but only because I'm fairly sure he'll get a CNN or NYT obit. He's on my DDP 08, but I acknowledge the risk anyhow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,269 Posted April 28, 2014 Ahh..... there's our answer. Yes he will get a UK obit.... http://sports.yahoo....55771--nba.html (Wait. Oops. Google told me that was Yahoo Eurosport UK News but it's not.) The only chances of getting one here are the Mail I think.... possibly the BBC website too.

CaptainChorizo 1,898 Posted April 28, 2014 Even without a full obit writeup I suspect he will get a mention for a sentence or two when The Blazers win their series as Daily Mail sorta has a section that covers basketball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,361 Posted April 29, 2014 UK Eurosport obit - same article as the one in the link Zorders posted but has the uk prefix in the URL https://uk.eurosport...55771--nba.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
