    Rex Chapman said "Rest in Peace, Pete Gillen" but Gillen is still alive !
    Is Rex an alcoholic or drug addict?

    It came up on the March Madness CBS Studio Show and during a piece on the Providence team, and no one else on set even said anything about it!

    WVA Coach Bob Huggins was on set and back in the day while at Cincinnati, he had a huge rivalry (and dislike) for Coach Gillen when the latter was at Xavier.

    "Huggy Bear" said nothing!

    Did Gillen die but somehow the internet missed it ??

        Is this the same guy? I don't want to talk about him in case he has a medical condition?

          My attempt at an explanation. Is there a chance Rex switched him up w/ a contemporary?

          Pete Gillen vs Skip Prosser? Maybe?

          Rex WAS a substance-abuser. By all accounts, he is now clean and sober.
          Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

            first part, yes, this is what i believe happened. i believe his wires crossed and it was skip prosser who also coached at xavier (and also at wake forest) who he was thinking of. skip died too young in his 50's in 2007.

            interestingly, coach bob huggins got along great with skip but not with pete.

            to the second part about "clean and sober" -- does not discount wet brain effect !

                      Charles Barkley always says "Rolling over in his grave" when retired NBA players are still alive. Who cares?

                        Imagine being Pete Gillen. Watching the broadcast on TV, casually eating his popcorn:

                        "Wait a minute. I'm dead?"

                          Gillen was a very good coach, but killed his own career, by always chasing the next jobs. It works for some people, not other. He reminds me of Eddie Fogler, another good coach who was never happy where he was and eventually they stopped hiring him.

                          Gillen had a great thing going at Providence and should have stayed there for 10 years.

                            I agree. Good coach. He could motivate players.

                            I remember Gillen most for this clip:

                                  Cmon, Laker. You're winning. Mellow out, bruh.

                                  Rex had demons. He conquered em, best he could.

                                  Think about some of his early hi-lites. Great elevation, and some classic 3s.

                                                he grew up with very different looking friends than you did. maybe that explains it.

                                                anyhow, everyone has their own story.
