Quotes from Sampson and the players on Sasha McHale's passing.

 

The players love McHale & he sounds like such a great guy. Ugh man this is way to heartbreaking. A bunch of coaches have been sending his love. Rick Carlisle, Dwayne Casey, Mark Jackson, the entire Celtics organization etc.

 

Condolence to coach and family.

Rest in peace Sasha.

 

I wish words and thoughts would help in their loss; I am praying for the McHale family to find the strength to cope and then start to heal / deal with their feelings in their own way and time. God's strength to them in their time of need. My deepest condolences to Coach McHale and his family.

 

Don't know if this link has been posted yet but it has a few pictures of her in the story. She looks like she was a very happy young lady and my heart goes out to Coach Mchale and his family.

“Sasha was a daddy’s girl,” said Kelvin Sampson


This is heartbreaking.

 

Man so sad, I'm guessing that McHale will get to take the rest of the year off-with pay (Morey has said he'll give him as much time as needed I believe), and let his decisions decide what he (Kevin) wants to do....I don't think he'll resign unless he knows he is done. If he doesn't which I don't want him to, but if he really wants to get away from basketball for a while; then I think he should resign, and get all his money he was deserved.
Such a tragic situation....R.I.P.

Classy for them to do so .I'm still shocked by the news.

 

heartbreaking...

no one should have to go through losing a child...

its just not right

 

I'm not gonna lie, I was fighting back tears while reading this..

 

can't understand how a thread about someone passing away gets a 4 rating.

RIP and my condolances hope the coach is ok!

Condolence from Celtic fans.There's some good reads by these 2 posters:exculpatory & ermocrate

 

Same. Heart wrenching stuff. Playing basketball seems stupid in these moments.

 

Sorry. I gave it a 1. I didn't feel right about 5 stars either.

But it doesn't matter.

 

what? a 5 star rating indicates that people are happy that someone's dead?

 

I'm not going to waste time discussing it. It's fine at 5 stars.

 

Cant imagine what McHale must be going through right now. I think the saddest thing was seeing this tweet from Sasha-

Sasha McHale ‏@SashaMcHale
The only good thing about being sick on my birthday is spending quality time with my dad. He's lucky I love my @HoustonRockets

From everything I heard, she sounds like a great person, and her and Kevin obviously were very close. Thoughts and prayers go out to Kevin and his family.
