<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Burke Suffers Heart Attack<div><span style="font-style: italic">Sep 19</span> - Bob Burke, a Portland Trail Blazers advance scout who served as coach Nate McMillan's assistant for one season, collapsed over the weekend during a coaching clinic in Palm Springs, Calif., and is recovering from a heart attack in a hospital there.
Roughly 15 minutes into his presentation Saturday at the Palm Springs Coaches Clinic, Burke, 61, fell to the ground and had CPR administered to him by three area high school basketball coaches. According to The Desert Sun, which first reported the incident, Burke's breathing and pulse stopped twice in the three minutes it took for paramedics to arrive. </p>
</p>
Eventually, however, Burke's heart resumed beating and he was rushed to the hospital. </p>
