Kim English knows he still could be picking up a paycheck somewhere with his playing skills. There likely will be more than a few times this season when his new protégés on the Colorado men's basketball team are challenged to a few post-practice one-on-one showdowns.
But while English still believes in his skills, he also believes that coaching was the calling he needed to pursue. Instead of continuing to chase his hoops dreams across Europe, English decided to embark on a coaching career. Still just 29-years old, he was hired in August as the latest assistant on head coach Tad Boyle's CU staff.
