"I talked to Mike," Pullen said, referring to his former classmate, Michael Beasley. "The two weeks right before the draft deadline, Mike spent out in Kansas. We talked and he said if he could re-do everything, he'd have stayed all four years."

Beasley, of course, left after his freshman season when he was an All-American for K-State. He was picked No. 2 overall by Miami. His first two years with the Heat were marked by inconsistent, and seemingly uninterested, stretches on the court. Off the court, personal troubles prompted Beasley to enter a rehabilitation facility last summer.

"He said to think about it and not just worry about the money," added Pullen, who spent a day last week in Lee Arena helping at the Bob Chipman Basketball Camp. "Think about the experiences you want to be part of, because once you make that decision it's your life. It's a job. It's not fun anymore."



Frank should offer Mike a spot on the bench. I'd love to see that. Miss ya Mike and keep your head up!
