Definitely am a little surprised but not shocked
1) money might be a factor but I really don’t think it is
2) he flirted with the pistons last year and had real interest in leaving last year
3) from my understanding he has always had the goal to Coach in the NBA and he’s getting toward the end of his career so now was a good time
4) THIS last one is probably the biggest point...he is obviously moving the or near Cleveland, Patrick just took the job at Niagara. It’s around a 3 hour drive from Cleveland to Niagara I believe. So not only is he living a dream of coaching in the NBA, making more money BUT he is ALSO moving closer to family where his kids are not getting married and having grandkids. Great move on his part in my opinion and happy for the guy cause he’s a great coach and great person.
