(OT) West Virginia player transfers because he doesn’t like being yelled at by Bob Huggins (among other reasons)

Not sure what to make of these comments. Huggy is generally regarded as a coach kids play their rear-ends off for. Maybe today’s players are too soft for his style. Who knows?

The most eye-opening comment to me was the reason he chose Baylor over Alabama. Said he had too much fun at ‘Bama - meaning he’d be distracted from basketball. Made me wonder if we’ve lost recruits for similar reasons? It’s a heckuva balancing act trying to assign player escorts (or whatever they’re called) that can show the recruit a good time, but not too good.

The comments of one person does not decide the softness of "todays players".
 
The most interesting comment to me was about turning down 500k
 
Reminds me of the reaction of one of my colleagues to the audio tape of Coach Knight yelling at his team. My colleague was aghast, while I calming explained to him my Jr. HS coach was just as demonstrative to us 12 year olds. Just a different era, I suppose.

Different era yes. Now the volleyball coach is being thrown under the bus for being the same sort of coach.

male coach who looks like he should be on "the list" with an all girls team... a little different in that situation
