By this morning, a familiar defense had already started to take shape. Hokit is a character. A heel. A performer. He plays a role. Do not take it literally. We have been here before. They called it locker room talk. They called it hyperbole. They called it “Trump just being Trump.”
Education doesn’t stop in the summer in Minneapolis. Some of the most important classrooms don’t have walls.

Imagine the Los Angeles Lakers were permitted to appoint Phil Jackson, their legendary former head coach, as a playoff referee. Imagine the Lakers owner then went on television and said he expected Jackson to remember who gave him his opportunity. Read the full article at jazzhampton.substack.com

The smoke detector in your house goes off too often. Burnt toast. A sensitive battery. After a while, you stop reacting. It’s nothing. Then one night the alarm goes off again, and you roll over in bed because you think it is the same false signal. Jazzhampton.substack.com
