I guess its good to see him helping special ed. kids, but man, what a fall from grace this guy has had.

I guess that Paulino's 3-pointer killed his career.

Oh, and the story did not mention Barton Hills' man crush on Pittsnogle.

He probably blew his nest egg on that elaborate wedding.

Raising a family. Working in our public schools. Guy sounds like kind of a hero to me.

Yeah, I don't see the fall from grace. Sounds like a good guy doing things the right way.

As a 2nd grade teacher, I don't consider that a fall from grace. It's more like the most honorable profession in this country. He's directly contributing to our society and the betterment of his community. A lot more than I can say for most of the NBA'ers out there. Good for him!

He probably should have gone pro as a junior after WVU made the regional finals -- he had a lot of buzz at that point.

This reminds me of the collegiate athletes going pro in something other than sports commercials.

 

[Texdoc]

That's still better than in a van down by the river.

HOOK 'EM,

Heck, living in a trailer is considered the good life in West Virginia.

I give him props...he is giving back to the kids. Even coaching for free...

 

[humahuma]

Seems like a good guy, can you imagine having a teach being so big when you were in school.

 

[Barton Hills]

I'm currently trying to find a loophole that will allow me to enroll as a West Virginian Special Ed middle schooler.

Stay tuned.

PS - Have you seen my baseball?

I am a big fan now. This is a great story, go get em Pittsnoogle!

 

[DirtyFranke]

Man if Pittsnogle can't make an NBA roster, what hope does Atchley have? Maybe a better role player but I'm really surprised to hear this.

 

[ferrariparty]

Nice

 

[texashorne]

I didn't know being a teacher was a "fall from grace."

Pittsnogle was interviewed by Erin Andrews. How many of you can say that?
I think she had a little crush on him.
