"Gary Payton, the retired NBA star, is out as the head men's basketball coach at Lincoln University after an unusual − and, at times, contentious − stint at the little-known Oakland, California school."

My best teachers in college were folks who had to work at acquiring the knowledge........the worst teachers were gifted people who didn't struggle at all to learn. My major professor was a so-so teacher, and I wondered how such a bright person could be that way - until one time chatting with his wife I learned a source of tension in their relationship was the guy NEVER had to study, so he was a distraction during dead week/finals week because he didn't need to crack open a book......ever.
Just sayin' - GP probably would not understand why mere mortals couldn't see the floor as well as him - though I don't think there was tension between him and the players (especially since they apparently weren't too worried about classes and he footed their bills on the road).
Go Beavers!
