Just heard yesterday that he wouldn't be back for the season, as Sam Mitchell has been coaching during the pre-season. Then today it's announced he passed. RIP Flipper.

Strib on Saunders

Flip Saunders died Sunday after being in a coma for close to six weeks at the University of Minnesota Hospital, on life support and with little chance of surviving.

He had contracted Hodgkin’s lymphoma and had one more treatment to go at Mayo Clinic when he contracted pneumonia, sources said, was hospitalized and never recovered.

They didn't tell anyone.

That's brilliant. Almost Montana State-like analysis.

Me neither. No way I'm sticking around an empty parking lot with a black man in a hooded sweatshirt!

Yep, that's Tip #1 in the book of common sense.
