People aren't on the same page when it comes to how to rate threads. One could argue this thread shouldn't be rated at all because it's delivering bad news, while others may think the content, well wishes/condolences/prayers, should be given 5 stars. I would just ignore it, as this is one of the few threads here that shouldn't have a rating option.
So sorry for his loss. Can't imagine what he's going through right now. Thoughts and prayers for Coach McHale and his family.
5 stars may seem like you're glad of this thread's content, I guess. Because that's what 5 stars usually means. This thread doesn't really deserve any stars, like people have mentioned.
I am in tears. I have children. I cannot imagine what Coach is going through. Prayers to the entire McHale family.
