I think coach dropped the ball there for his daughter... If he didn't do it for financial reasons to help pay for her costs and other stuff, there's no reason to not attend to an ill daughter an quit basketball altogether.. She had a limited time to live and every moment counts.. I would toss everything I have into a lake for my son who is 3 if he fell ill....
You have no idea what that mans situation was. You have no idea if she fell ill unexpectedly or if she begged him to keep coaching. This is one of the most ignorant and idiotic threads I have ever seen.
Only 23, she had been hospitalized for two weeks before her death, according to the team. McHale, 54, had been on a leave of absence with his family while her health declined. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/...n-rockets-mchale-dies-of-lupus-complications/
She had lupus for well over a year I heard. I would have quit basketball and used vehicles and housing equiped with everything she needed and toured the world or something... He should have quit right when she was diagnosised with lupus and spent as much time with her as he could possibly until the end...
People can and do live rich full lives with Lupus, he had no indication that she was going to die suddenly. With that said, how do you think she would have felt knowing that she kept him from living his life due to her illness? I know if I had a deadly disease or terminal cancer I wouldn't want my entire family there with me every waking moment, frankly that would make me want to just blow my brains out. The best gift my family could do for me would be to go about living their lives, and appreciating the time they have left doing whatever it is they love. You don't know the details, so you come off like a gigantic ass hat, which means a lot coming from me. Congrats!
Lupus is not necessarily a terminal disease - she could easily have lived 20 or 30 more years. Without knowing all about her specific circumstances, you're just speculating on things you really have no information about.
You can say what you would do all you want, but unless you are in his exact situation, you have no idea what you would really do.
One of my college professors, the one I worked most closely with, has had Lupus for 25-30 years. He's had health problems associated with it but he's still here. One of my fraternity brothers had lupus well before I met him. 10 years later he's in really good health all things considered. Lupus isn't something where you go "oh, you have lupus, you're going to die soon". It doesn't work like that. There's no way McHale could have known she'd die so young. It was very plausible that she could have outlived him, even with the disease. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupus Seems like due to modern medicine, the vast majority of people with Lupus shouldn't expect to die from it. At least not early on.
I've never go into the D&D, but I happen to see the title from the last post section and my gosh what an ignorant post. I highly doubt you know the full detail. The above post states she was hospitalized 2 weeks before and mchale was there the whole time.
Congratulations! I believe this might be the first thread ever created in D&D where conservatives and liberals alike agree on one thing.
