It seems to me that most people with an extraordinary talent of some kind fall outside the range of "normal" or "typical" in other aspects of their lives.  For example, extremely creative types tend to be very sensitive people who are more likely than most to self-medicate to deal with the emotions that self-expression doesn't help with (think artists, writers, musicians). Politicians tend to have enormous egos.  A great number of mathematical or scientific geniuses have issues such as OCD or ADHD, or other problems with socialization.

All of these things could be considered quirks, and some of it might be a chicken/egg thing (e.g., does one go into politics because one has an enormous ego, or does being a political bigwig give someone an enormous ego?)

And, if you are a self-medicating, ego-maniac with OCD or ADHD or other problems with socialization, what are you?

Does money make one quirky or does it just bring the quirkiness out?
“Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars.”
-warren buffett

wojo will be intense.  i never liked him as a player...i thought he was much like his coach who i also don't like, and can't stand pg's that have no offensive skill.  i don't like how coach k. put pressure on his players to hang around rather then entering the league, and while i don't think jalen rose summarized it best, i do think there was something to his comments on coach k.  

that said, so far i've liked what i've heard/seen from wojo...time will tell.  i don't think he's trying to be coach k...he seems to be his own person, but i'm also hoping/looking for that.  we all heard the stories about how buzz started from nothing, and for wojo to get to where he got as a player with his height and athleticism you know he worked his tail off...as did diener.  love seeing those two together, and i'm not sure you could find two more intense people in the game.

Cradle robber.  He hit on one of my classmates.  She was of age -and already graduated - but not HIS age.

Hahahaha. It sounds like he was a real hound.

Touché.

Of 461,122 possible entries, that was the only correct answer. Bravo!

Maybe Wojo will realize his own shortcomings in this department and will hire former MLB player Jamie Quirk as a special assistant!

Not sure why "MU's Quirky Coaches" starts with Al.  Wouldn't stories about his predecessor, Eddie Hickey, qualify him for inclusion, as well?

I have NEVER heard an Eddie Hickey story, but have heard plenty of Al stories.

Is mediocrity a quirk?

In hindsight, I would have been thrilled with mediocrity...
