Lucas is kept to keep our youth from freaking out with a real coach. A safe place for them to go with out going completely AWALL. Nice move by management because change is happening faster than they can probably comprehend. Jon will lead them back to their coach after pick up all the pieces. Good to see the organization take care of Lucas because he seems like a great person.
Lucas has a long rep with players around the league. He's an institution like Calvin Murphy is to Rockets broadcasts. Forcing him out would drop our status even lower.
