Please do not go away. Your posts are absolute treasures and one of the great joys of reading the board.
Re: Boryla - unfortunately, I did not have an opportunity to meet him. I have met and spoken to many of his close friends in East Chicago, including some high school teammates. I was always given the impression that Vince liked Notre Dame and enjoyed his time at ND, but did not love ND like so many do.
I also believe that Vinny might have been ahead of his time when it comes to NIL - but I will save that for another day.
classmates. That season didn't turn out well, and he never got another head job. He was the only Domer NBA HC I could recall prior to Monty W.
Besides the fact that CQ is Spoelstra's interim fill-in, he's always at Spoelstra's side on the sidelines. I know that he had a fair amount of HC experience in NBA summer league games.
A colleague of mine who's a Milwaukee native is tired of constantly hearing about "Heat culture." He grudgingly acknowledges the organization's strengths, however, esp. w/ Heat winning 2 of last 3 playoff matchups w/ Bucks. CQ now has a total of 12 years in the organization. He might know the combination to Riley's wine cellar by now.
