Kind of sad to see when someone just doesn't realize their time has past.
But good luck to Perk, I'll always cherish his contributions to our 2008 title.
Why is it sad? He is enjoying mentoring the younger players and getting some coaching experience and talks about planning for his career post basketball. What else should he be doing? He even acknowledges how different the game is then when he brought in and that he doesn't have the skills that would be needed. Seems like he is really realistic and grounded and doing what he loves. We should all be so lucky...
yeah that is my takeaway. He is getting coaching experience while still staying in game shape so when he gets a call after buy outs he can join a playoff team and possibly help for a few minutes here and there and maybe get a shot at another ring.
