Unfortunately, there isn’t much detail. There’s a short piece in the Trib. Nothing on F*SPN yet.

Wow!
I just heard him do an interview with Boers and Bernstein after the Red Kerr celebration...he was talking about his disappointment in not being included down on the floor...another portion of the interview was about Kerr’s frailty.....you just never know…

He will indeed be missed terribly. Great analyst, personality, and overall person. R.I.P. Norm.

RIP Norm. The Bulls teams you played on couldn’t get passed the Lakers, but they more than held their own. Jerry Sloan, Nate Thurmond, Bob “Butterbean Love, Tom Borewinkle. One of the scrappiest teams I ever saw.

Not sure why, but USA Today got the story out first.

USA Today missed the fact that he was originally a 3rd round pick by the Bulls.

It’s freaking USA Today. I’m impressed they did as good as they did.
