Yes, Sanchez is the interim and may have a leg up on being selected as the next HC. However, Carla Williams, the Athletic Director, stated flat-out that there will be a national search for the new HC at the end of the season.
Give it a like but don't see the interest by the NBA. They can develop other evaluation methods and prep schools get the marketing started...see Cooper Flagg. Think the NBA owners don't see it as their job to save college basketball from itself. Think they are also tiring of bailing out WNBA which per NY Post article is on track to lose 40 million this year.
There was some rumbling on the part of the owners during the last CBA negotiation about getting rid of "one and done," but nothing came of it.
We’re seeing kids who have played during the season bail for the transfer portal and even during the season to preserve their eligibility for an additional year at another school. Are they quitting on their team, their coach? I don’t see any outrage about it. Plenty of coaches have been fired a month before the season begins more than ever and even during the season too. Outraged? I’m hearing that NIL donors at some colleges are putting lots of additional pressure on coaches, administrators regarding player development, playing time etc for players they have paid NIL for and that some donors aren’t cheering for the team but just the specific player they are financially tied to. It’s a different sports world out there and it is different for not just players but coaches, college athletic administrators and fans. No wonder people are re-evaluating their ever changing roles in it.
Their G League certainly isn’t a hit either nor a money maker.
I agree but that is their responsibility. WNBA and college basketball are not.
Why do you think that the NBA would believe that college basketball is their responsibility? College basketball shouldn’t be considered a developmental league for the NBA either but it is. The NBA cares only enough about college basketball to put age restrictions on it so players have few realistic options but to attend college for at least a year while also giving them advice on what they need to work on during college, their possibilities for being drafted etc. They care but bear no real responsibility for them. Saves the NBA millions upon millions of $.
I'm all for players making money but this current system is so screwed up I wonder if it reaches a point where non alumni / non gamblers stop watching
The NBA doesn't and I never said they did. Some fans on this board do.
Even back in the 60’s there were $100 handshakes and cash stuffed shoes after practice.
Wow now both Providence and Georgetown can hate Ed Cooley. It will be his choice whether he ever faces them again.
thats a fake account lol
It’s got the blue check. There goes the only thing I (thought I ) understood about twitter.
how is Georgetown so terrible
It's worth remembering that this is essentially the same thing that Bo Ryan did at Wisconsin and that Dean Smith did at UNC. Bill Guthidge and and Greg Gard did, or have done, pretty well and the programs didn't suffer. Given the state of college basketball and the transfer portal, if Coach Bennett left in the spring of 2024, or waited until the spring of 2025, it is likely that chaos ensues. It may anyway, but this way at least gives the program a chance to maintain some stability and continuity during the transition. In the long run, I think that that is in the best interests of the players.
Wow. Is this just brilliant trolling or actually real?
They system is proven. And, it doesn't require top 20 players. If a Bennett disciple can teach as well as Tony, they can continue to be successful.
Nobody wants to deal with this NIL nonsense.
