I was skeptical, but that was actually a very entertaining article.

If it helps with recruiting then he should be more tech savy.

So is Jim one of those passionate Droid guys who hates Apple?

I love JB, but in 2019 should we really have a coach that isn't fully up to speed with basic sms text messaging?

The headline and article don't agree. Headline says texting helps him relate to the players. Article says he "rarely" texts players. Tyus and Carey haven't received texts since they committed.
So, how exactly is texting helping him relate to the players?

Meh. Just an irrelevant article cause author running out of decent topics

 

[bballbeadle]

I thought it was a fun article! I wonder how older coaches and younger coaches handle the same issue?

There is no text that is more quintessentially a 60-70 year old man than "K."

K

When Joe Girard committed he texted Boeheim. Boeheim's reply: "K"

Interesting that he texts with Wes so often

He sees his players most every day. Face-to-face is a much better way to communicate.

What's a proper whining emoji?

Boeheim is like Paulie from Goodfellas in that regard.

It's only appropriate in two situations: When it's from Coach K...or this guy

"... he can be so stubborn..."

Nah, not JB.
