In the offseason, they move to an unpretentious home in Columbus, Ohio, about 100 miles west of the small town of Lansing where Havlicek grew up. When his playing career ends, Havlicek hopes, "there may be a chance for me to do some work around Columbus as an assistant college coach, but I'll concentrate on my housewares business there. And I'm going to learn to ski." The way Havlicek is running these...
