"When I coached Jason Kidd..." is a phrase that I'm sure has been uttered when they're showing him how they'd use him.

I just have a hard time accepting anyone would prefer to play at under achieving Kentucky with Cal over a resurgent IU with CMW.
If the NIL is reasonably close together…….

Look at the top 25 players in the NBA, and then look at how many of those played under Calipari at UK. I don’t think any kid focused on the NBA would agree with you that they’re underachieving.
I feel Reneau will jump out this year and bring 13.7/6.7 rpg and some three's but just under a comfortable % on those three's. I can see him getting a TJd nba look after his junior year. 16/7.5 and improved 3 pt shooting and ft%.
In most years, TJD would have won player of the year, and he got picked in the late second round. If Reneau wants to have a legit NBA career, he really needs to show enough to go this year, IMO.
The kids that made the NBA aren’t underachieving. UK has been underachieving with all that talent. The Cal factor. Those same kids would be in the NBA under other coaches.
And Bloomington > Lexington
That’s the thing that perplexes me about modern recruiting, how some coaches have convinced elite talent that only they can unlock the player’s potential when elite talent will show itself under any competent coach.
Think I heard Cassidy mention a sheet/spreadsheet that Cal uses showing all his UK players and their career earnings and how powerful and impressive that is. Woodson could do something similar with all the players he's coached, but obviously the majority would have already been pros.
Well considering 5 of those 8 schools have been eliminated, not sure when it was updated
yeah that was point in another post..Cal is making kids rich but not consistently winning big. Kids getting rich...natives getting restless.
useless...three way race between IU, Mich and Maryland....yeah that's info I can trust.
I coached a local travel 11u baseball team many years ago. Kinda got pulled into coaching it out of team necessity. Very mediocre team. I coached my ass off...but some boys just weren't future stars. Then snagged all the kids /parent-friends from our old little league all star team that I had coached 2 yrs back, formed our own independent team, and next yr 12u season we kicked ass, top 20 in the state, a team that no one had even heard of before. I didn't change....the talent on the field did, but it sure made me 'look' better as a coach.
And then look at how many of those kids only went to college because they couldn’t jump straight to the NBA from HS. For example, I’m not giving Cal credit for making Anthony Davis into an NBA all-star. Davis only went to college because he basically had to.
I haven't heard anything of World Wide Wes lately. Is he still funneling players to Cal / Kentucky, or has that relationship cooled?
I think that cooled a little when Wes started getting a check from the Knicks organization at the same time Woody was.
Stop it. You were amazing!
As much as it stinks when you slog through a season and don't accomplish what you know the kids were capable of, is having a team that is really good, plays hard and enjoys it. I've coached about 6 rec league teams and had a few of the former, but 1 of the latter and it was a blast. My son (24) and I still reminisce about how fun that season was. Equally gratifying: when you see kids improve and grow. That same team, the league rule was everyone had to sit for a quarter. I noticed that teams always started tight and after the first quarter the score was often like 4-0, and then they'd get going and score 10-12 per quarter. Our team was really solid, so I sat our best player the first quarter because even if we were down, it would only be a point or 2 and the other team would almost always start their best player and so we'd have a quarter where our top player played while there's was sitting and he'd usually feast. Anyway, at half of the championship game I called the other front court guys together and told them to be ready because the other team would try and double team or get fouls on our best player and we'd probably need them. Not 30 seconds in to the second half, he went down with a sprained ankle and was out for the game. The other team was licking their lips, but our kids stepped up, including my son and one kid who'd really joked his way through the year because he wasn't very coordinated, so he liked to make jokes rather than try and fail. But that game he played like a stud and we eaked it out by 3. If you coach for long, you deserve to have both seasons!
Smoke rising in Bloomington. Starting to see some fire. Boogie told the coaches.
Unfortunately here is the point... it doesn't matter if you are giving credit, the recruits and their parents apparently are.
It’s not confirmed just a few more tidbits. Cuban is following, The Daily Hoosier, a few trusted insiders on other boards. No info coming from UK at all. CBs all in IU favor. I do believe he told the coaches.
are you talking jeopardizing his HS eligibility or his college eligibility.
i have no idea what NY HS rules are, but first rule of NIL is, there are no rules.
just post a pic on social media of him in the cabin wearing a shirt that says "Fly Net Jets", and i'll assume it's all good.
how would that be any different than all the other totally bogus deals labeled as NIL?
How do we know? That guy also posted that he told the coaches and he made his post before you did on here.
To be fair, you posted the exact same line as him without any context about 15 minutes after it popped up on that board.
translation of said rules,
you have to launder the money through a 3rd party first, at which point it then instantly becomes legal.
“Announcement at 2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 20, at Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains, N.Y.”
If I were him, I wouldn’t even tell what the person did. The last thing they need is to know they have someone associated with the program who can’t keep their mouth shut.
