Maybe i haven't been following all along, but tell me how this works?

Someone said Tucker verballed to us. 
How would K know about that? I'm assuming there's no classified central computing system where coaches register verbals and competing coaches have to check before making their own offers. 
So, if K 'offered' Tucker, how does that work? Is it a Letter? A phone call or text? What constitutes an offer? If it's a phone call, sure, K should ask, 'Hey, son — did you verbal anyone already?' If it's a letter or email, then isn't it just a letter saying we will give you a scholarship? 
Where's the treachery? 
And, even if the two coaches are friends, they're still trying to beat each other in the same conference.

This whole 'verbal' thing is ridiculous. NCAA ought to 'ban' it and regulate the entire commitment system. When 17-year olds are allowed to manipulate old, rich white guys and the alums and locals that have their emotions triggered by the doings of the rich old white guys as determined by the 17-year olds... somethin's wrong.
