No matter what we think of his coaching, there is not a person on this board that doesn’t believe that Silas is a top notch, classy, extremely nice person. Very sad to hear about his dad and condolences and prayers to him and his family.
I recently lost my mother, so I can imagine what Stephen Silas is going through. I know it's hard but God is real and just know that Paul Silas is in a better place.
My heart hurts for coach Silas. I know he was very close to his father as I am to mine. I can only imagine how devastating this is.
Our Coach Silas is a winner in life and that matters more then basketball ever will. I hope his faith is strong because this when he will need it.
Paul and Stephen were very close and Paul was his mentor. This will be a tough one. Best wishes to the family.
Stephen… what a rough basketball set of cards he’s been dealt. This better be the last of it, the man deserves better. RIP Paul Silas, I always liked seeing you on the sidelines and the highlights of how you played the game. Rest easy big fella.
Folks get mad that he smiles a lot , but you never know what folks are going through behind the scenes… RIP Paul
RIP Papa Silas. For anyone interested, here's a great article Grantland did a few years ago on him : Paul Silas, NBA Lifer
This is really really tough. If Stephen Silas needs to step away from the game for awhile I'd understand. Paul would want him to coach tonight.
I had a personal regard for the gent. In fact, at least truth, Paul Silas taught me how to be an effective rebounder.
