I Didn't Even Know Bill Bayno Was Sick...

...let alone, so sick as to having to resign his post.

From: Sports Illustrated

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Bill Bayno resigned as basketball coach of Loyola Marymount on Monday while on an extended health leave and will be replaced by acting coach Max Good.

"Due to medical reasons, and on the advice of my doctors, I am resigning from my duties as head mens basketball coach at Loyola Marymount," Bayno said in a statement issued by the school. "I sincerely apologize for any disappointment this might cause the fans, the administration, the students and most importantly my players, their families and my coaching staff. I care deeply for them all and I will always be available to help in any way I can in basketball and in life."...................

Is it me or does it seem like more people are becoming seriously ill.

I know that isn't the case, but man it seems to involve people I either know or am familiar with.


I hope he is able to get well, and get well soon

The LMU family wishes Bill continued progress in his comeback from the emotional distress triggered by responsibilities associated with being a head coach," Husak said. "Bill Bayno will always be a Lion

Because the folks you know are getting older, maybe? More likely to have something go wrong?

as the quote from the school:

it seems to me he got too stressed out from losing, perhaps?

Bill Bayno drank himself out of a job at UNLV and out of coaching for a long time. It's why the Blazers job was viewed as a resurrection. To me, this sounds like he fell off the wagon.

Actually, I heard it was depression. Clinical depression. Pretty commonly surfaces in addicts after they stop self medicating. I hope he recovers.

Bill Bayno and I became friends when I was following the team on the road last year. I really hope he's okay. He's a good guy and he always worked hard with LMA on his post moves every night.

That's horrible. Being bipolar, I know how horrible depression is.

Bill always seemed like a great guy, but a guy who was wound really tight and was very passionate about his job. He reminded me of Tim Grugurich. If you remember, Grugs also quit UNLV due to stress. Some guys are great coaches, but just aren't emotionally prepared for the grind that it takes on you. I would love to see Bayno back here. Hard workers with a high basketball IQ are not easy to find.
