Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1213740, member: 40"] At the end of the day, JB is just an old guy who doesn't understand social media / the 24 hour news cycle associated with modern technology. His mental "rules" for how reporting should work don't necessarily apply in today's society. And I'm not criticizing him for that--it is what it is, given that he's 70+ years old. Anyone paying attention could see that he's been increasingly ornery the last few years [exactly like you'd expect an old man to behave]. He's always been outspoken, and now he's got that old man sense of not caring what anybody thinks. I don't think that combo makes him look as bad as many in this thread claim--he's a respected institution in collegiate / USA basketball, after all--it just makes him seem old and out of touch. And I don't care how many articles get published trying to make a story out of his comments on early entry, it sure hasn't seemed to impact our recruiting in recent years. [/QUOTE]
