Halifax Rainmen: Craig Hodges

Craig Hodges: The Halifax Rainmen coach was among a collection of former pros who agreed to join retired NBA player Dennis Rodman for an exhibition game Wednesday in Pyongyang to mark dictator Kim Jong Uns birthday, according to The Chronicle Herald. I feel bad that it came off the way that it did, especially now that I look at all of the heat that my partners are getting, Hodges, 53, said late Wednesday afternoon and Craig Hodges says his love of basketball sent him on a trip to North Korea and hes disappointed in the backlash that followed a group of ex-NBA players there. Turned back by paperwork issues before he got to North Korea, Hodges flew back to Halifax late Tuesday night. He was greeted by a flood of interview requests from media outlets about his aborted trip. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
