Perhaps Coburn should be suiting up instead of coaching
He's going to be pretty lonely when he isn't coaching anyone. Can he still play?
Anon 2 says what I am thinking. He might as well play since we don't have anyone right now thanks to Taman not going out and finding us anyone knowing Sheets might leave. Did he lose his napkins?
