Tyronn Lue and Terry Francona have a few connections, including being head coaches of Cleveland professional sports teams, but that doesn’t mean they always reply to each other’s texts.
After Lue’s Cleveland Cavaliers won the NBA Finals, one of the congratulatory texts the Cavs head coach received was from a number he didn’t recognize. Turns out it was from Francona.
“He sent me a text during the Finals,” Lue said Friday, via ESPN.com’s Dave McMenamin. “He had changed numbers, so I didn’t really know who it was. When I was texting him the other night, I saw a text came from him, and I said, ‘Oh s—. My bad.’ He said, ‘No I understand. You got busy.’ … We cleaned it up, and I had a chance to talk to him the other night.”
So we’ll assume they both have each other’s names saved in their contacts, now, which should prevent another awkward situation like this if the Indians win the World Series.
