I guess part of that may be affected by why he retired from the NBA. If he did so because the wear and tear and grind were getting to him then he probably feels alright.

However, if he was forced to retire then right about now he is probably frustrated and still full of energy.

As far as I know, Corbin and Derosa retired on their own. They get an NBA pension and immediately become big dogs in college with much less pressure.

DeRosa left the NBA on his own. Here's a great article about his decision to retire from the NBA and go back to college officiating.

Thanks for posting that!
