Reading through the quotes from the presser, and this one from Rob stood out: ""I told the players that I wouldn't be here without them. They are my family. They have responded at every turn. I was very grateful for the response and it is a vindication for everybody at the club." -Gale"

I love that the players like him, and vice versa, but I also have concern with a coach considering his players family. Am I wrong here? I am literally one of the most sentimental mushy warm fuzzy people out there, and I absolutely respect that quality in other humans, but I do have concerns that it could leak into job duties if you're thinking of players like this. A whole lot of change has to be made with this roster, and sentimentality could be a killer when it comes to making hard decisions about players you're attached to. I love that he has that trust, but at the other end, I also hope that he can reel that back and be professional when hard decisions have to be made. Obv coaches aren't the ones constructing the roster (though I'd have the same reservations about KK's sentimentality affecting roster build), but he is creating lineups and the like, and communicating with KK about performance.
