The question is, why weren’t they there? Several sources on Friday night strongly pushed back to Don Nelson’s assertion earlier in the evening when he told [i]The News:[/i] “I wasn’t invited. I really wanted to be there, but I didn’t feel that I should just show up without an invitation, so I didn’t.”
Not true, said two sources. Both said that Nowitzki personally reached out to the Nelsons to invite them to the game and ceremony. Both sources wondered why Nelson is saying otherwise.
Donnie's firing is still relatively recent. I can certainly understand why he might not have been comfortable coming back to the AAC just yet and declined the invitation just like he's declined to talk about his exit.
Don on the other hand--well, we know weed can affect your memory, maybe he just doesn't remember the call.
