Please, you have no kownledge of what you are dealing with...

I think even in the short term there will be issues with the Parkinsons and coaching basketball in this high stress environment. It all depends on how the disease progresses.

However, everything I have heard indicates he is actually pretty healthy and in the very early stages of the disease.

My grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson's and was the same jovially self he was for 4-5 years after he was diagnosed. He didn't start going to downhill until after that 4-5 year period.

I've seen plenty of video of BK at Murray State and he's the same guy there...

Exactly. At some point there will be issues but everyone close to the program says the disease is in its very early stages.

Cub, maybe you should just admit there are people with more knowledge if the disease than you. For all you know this guy is a doctor

i stand by my presious post...Watch the eyes,,,
they are not only the key but also the most important part of communication...

I do pray for him...

The disease affects everyone differently
All of you are speculating..not sure this is the best forum to argue how it's affecting him.

Everybody is different. There are clearly visible symptoms in BK ... NOW

I'm not arguing that I know more than my dog about Parkinson's. I'm arguing that this guy doesn't know Kennedy at all. Those who watched him every game at Murray State say this is just the way he is.

I am not a doctor but do handle this issue and am concerend ...

actually his symptoms are more likely depression than Parkinsons.

I'm depressed in case he isn't

Sorry I am out of here> I never wanted to digress to this point..

I do pray for the best for Kenndy, his family and Aggie Basketball;...

Adios my friends lets all pray for the future...

Okay, I think this thread has officially 'jumped the shark' now...

straydog, gopitt, etc:

the kennedy hire was widely praised by the national media and many coaches. why do you know more than them? who did you want a&m to hire that was realistic?

---

you mean the same national media and many coaches who picked this aggie team to finish at the top of the big12? you sure you want to go down that road?

I thought it was a Big 12 coaches vote that had us tied with KU (while not receiving any first place votes). I don't remember any media types picking us to win the conference. Everyone expected us to be a lot better, obviously.

OK. 2nd to next to last instead of 1st of next to last. Impressive.

The thing I remember about BK's Murray State teams is that they were high tempo volume shooters from 3-land. Unless we change our name to Loyola Marymount, the long-term prognosis with such a system in the physical SEC is challenging to say the least


re: Duke assistant. Wojo, not Capel was VERY interested in the A&M job. He would have been an excellent coach here and appreciates A&M's military traditions under the real Coach K

In other sports (besides football) A&M hires from peer institutions (Nebraska, LSU, Arkansas). We got really lucky twice with mid-major hires and Murray State isn't even a mid-major.

Coach Cyp is a great D-1 recruiter. On to next year!

The 3ptFGA/FGA for this year's team is just about in line with what we saw from the Murray St. teams under Kennedy.

Florida, who is currently 2nd in the SEC, shoots 44% of their FGA from 3 pt land, so I think this fear is unfounded.

Wojo was "very" interested? According to whom? Did you speak to him during the coaching search, because his name was never mentioned as a real candidate anywhere else. And tell me again what his HC record is, because we all know that Coach K's assistants have done wonders as head coaches elsewhere. And A&M basketball does not have a military tradition.

hmm what did XL say here?
