"During my time as the Thorns coach, a player and I formed a friendship that turned into more complex emotions," Wilkinson wrote on Twitter.

More complex emotions. Hmm....

Funny how Don Shula never had a thing for Dan Marino, nor Bill Walsh for Joe Montana.

“Funny how Don Shula never had a thing for Dan Marino, nor Bill Walsh for Joe Montana.”

And over in the NHL, you could probably say the same about Glen Sather and Wayne Gretzky or Scotty Bowman and Guy Lafleur or Don Cherry and Bobby Orr, lol.

I recall reading an interview with Bryan Watson and he said that at his first training camp with Montreal in about 1965 or thereabouts, he politely said hello to legendary coach Toe Blake and Blake basically walked by and ignored him. Later, Watson told captain Jean Beliveau about the encounter and Beliveau told him that at a golf tournament that he and Blake were both at, Blake barely acknowledged him, even though Beliveau had been with the Montreal organization for about 15 years by that time. “He basically treats every player that way”, Beliveau told Watson.
