Dan Mullen: Helicopter travel is a necessity, ‘but it does give you pause’ after Kobe Bryant tragedy

Florida coach Dan Mullen uses a helicopter to travel for recruiting and to go to and from events. And he admitted Wednesday at his National Signing Day news conference that the Kobe Bryant helicopter crash gave him at least a brief pause when it came to using helicopters going forward. The former Los Angeles Lakers star, his daughter Gianna and seven others were killed in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26 while they were traveling in foggy conditions to Gianna's basketball game.
