Speaking with reporters today, Denver Nuggets head coach Mike Malone blasted the NBA for not allowing coaches’ families into the bubble:
Denver coach Mike Malone points out that it’s Day 60 in the bubble and he thinks it’s “criminal in nature” for the NBA not to let coaches bring in families. “I say shame on you, NBA. This is crazy. I miss my family.” pic.twitter.com/oBTve7zB3m

Over the past few days, we’ve seen a lot of heartwarming reunions of NBA players and their families after being apart for two months. Here’s one of George Hill:

There’s zero logical reason that NBA coaches can’t be afforded the same dignity. Malone is absolutely right.
What a crybaby does he realize how stupid he sounds how about our wonderful military personnel who serve with pride and honor around this world deployed for many months at a time. You don’t hear this kind of juvenile sniveling man up dude just stop it.
He is not wrong, but he should have spoken about this “social injustice” when they first got into the bubble. Maybe, he would have gotten to see his family earlier than 60 days in if he did something about it. Complaining now is just sour grapes.
