Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 231350, member: 628"] Although, to me the college game is at its worst level ever, and the NBA has stopped drafting high school kids, and kids have been leaving too-early for going on 15 years now. I think it's more than just the NBA issue. I was at a work event yesterday where Geno Auriemma spoke. I know people hate the guy, but he was awesome. He said AAU ball has hurt the men's game badly because kids just play games now, they don't practice. I'm sure it's an oversimplification, but I suspect there's a lot of truth to it. I have some friends who only watch the NBA, they have no D1 college affiliation, and I understand why. Some people don't like the NBA style of play, but college can be utterly painful much of the time. [/QUOTE]
