Goodbye
Well the last week things have been very interesting for me over here in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 1 week ago I played my final game here. I recorded 6 minutes in the game, and I was concerned about the severe decrease in playing time that I have seen. I decided to approach the coach in a business like manner just to find out what happened, and if there was something that I was doing wrong. I didn't really get a clear answer. After further discussion with the coach it was a mutual decision to part ways. Although I'm not all the way pleased that I am no longer with the team. The decision was necessary. After coach Vrankovic quit (the coach who brought me in), things changed within the team and after discussing my "new" role with the new coach he also felt the same way. There is no bad feelings between the club and I and I am sure they feel the same way. It was a business decision on both ends. I hope the city of Siroki and the club found my performance satisfying in the time that they were in need of my help. I thank the management and coaching staff of Siroki Eronet and the city for the opportunity to play for a great club. From my time here I have learned that sometimes in Europe it just turns out this way. Friends of mine have told me this and now I am now experiencing it myself. I am pulling for the team to bring home the championship because I know how hard they have worked and how up and down the season has been for us all. Because of my contribution to the team, I will continue to feel connected. Also, my two dudes are still playing --Chet Mason, Charles Thomas. With those two guys the team will do very well. Although my season with Siroki has ended sooner than expected I still got a season of European basketball under my belt and now feel like I have quite a bit of experience. Also, I am very excited about my return to the USA--- it will be an unbelievable feeling when I step of that airplane. I'm just trying to figure out what food I'm going to eat first!!!! ANY SUGGESTIONS??? Leave Suggestions in COMMENTS!!!!! THANKS. The details of departure are being worked out.

Great to hear you are coming back to the USA where you are appreciated! That country doesn't know what we all know! You are a rare commodity, a true point guard.

I was reading the live play by play when Siroki beat Igokea. I also read about the Leotar win, both great wins. If they can do well on this next two game road trip vs. Tuzla and Bosna, I am confident they can go all the way!!! Keep me updated Siroki!! Thanks
