The Coaches vs Cancer Tournament... and Isiah Thomas!

Check this out, Isiah is the new basketball coach at FIU, and he & FIU are already in a contract war with the organizers of the "Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament" because "Coaches vs. Cancer" says FIU is playing UNC... but FIU wants to play Ohio State. Honestly, I don't think it makes a difference because FIU is losing either way.

The best part of the article is this quote:
"I would be stunned if Isiah Thomas' first act as a head coach was to break a contract."
Granted, the tournament organizers admitted that the contract was signed in November 2008, before Isiah agreed to be the coach of FIU.

Here are the questions I have:
1) Instead of focusing on UNC or Ohio State, shouldn't the focus be on fighting cancer?
2) Doesn't pulling out of the tournament mean that you are letting cancer win?
