Coach Cancels Thanksgiving

On Monday, members of the University of Memphis Mens Basketball team thought they would be spending their Thanksgiving with their families, after putting a beatdown on Arkansas State Tuesday night.  On Tuesday,  U-M Basketball Coach John Calipari decided cancel Thanksgiving and  keep his players in Memphis for practice after the team beat ASU by twenty one points.  Can you imagine what he would have done had they lost?  What do you think about this?  Was the coach a turkey for keeping the kids in practice?  Or shoud the players be giving thanks for the opportunity to practice more while their siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles and parents are chowing down at home?

I think Kristin Tallent wrote about this already.

Check the main featured post thing.

How's your search for an Old Maid card partner coming?

Didn't see what she wrote. Found Spades partner. Thanks for your help. If the Tigers don't win the national championship, is your boy Cal going to cancel Independence Day?

Okay, since no one wants to bite. Here's the deal. Nothing is more important than family. Especially not a basketball game. Did Coach cancel HIS time with his family on Thanksgiving? My suggestion to the players...the next time the dude tries to cancel family time, the whole team should just leave. Let's see how many final fours he gets then. Bad move coach.

So with the 22-point win over Austin Peay, will coach Cal cancel Christmas now?

Co-Host of the Emmy Award winning Good Morning Memphis on Fox-13, and a member of the Fox-13 News I-Team, I also make the best mac and cheese in the world. Just ask Valerie Calhoun. After an 18 month layoff, I resumed my golfing pursuits April 26th, 2008. I think I'm going to resume saying, "it is what it is." If I'm hanging out in Memphis I'm at Onix on Main Street and EP's Delta Kitchen on Beale Street. If you have a cell phone, I will send this text message: How about those New York Football Giants! all year long. I recently stopped drinking coffee, and life without it is fine.
