George Karl’s new tell-all book has stirred some controversy and it could have been worse.
According to Marc Stein of ESPN, Karl had to remove everything about his time coaching the Sacramento Kings, star player DeMarcus Cousins, general manager Vlade Divac, and owner Vivek Ranadive.
Karl’s book, co-authored by Curt Sampson, included some unflattering views in a proof copy obtained by ESPN.com about Kings star DeMarcus Cousins, general manager Vlade Divac and owner Vivek Ranadive. But sources say Karl’s views were stricken from the version scheduled for public distribution next month.
Karl told ESPN on Saturday that he had “not authorized” those pages to be included in the book, which is titled “Furious George.”
Sources told ESPN.com that refraining from critical commentary of the Kings was part of Karl’s settlement agreement upon leaving the club.
I guess we may never know how George Karl felt about his time in Sacramento.
