What a sugar-coated, naive, revisionist way to look at this. How about these differences off the top of my head:

1. Tyus made his own initial choice with michigan, then had second thoughts. His family supported him. TT made his own decision with SU and actually joined the team, then [add] after he got scolded for terrible defense, she had a hissy-fit, took over the process and started behaving like his agent-handler;
2. TB and his family were honest with UM staff about his change of heart, and communicated with the staff. TT pretended he was still on the team, kept staff in the dark and refused to return phone calls all summer;
3. TB communicated his change of heart in a timely manner. TT deliberately went underground and delayed his announcement until the first day of classes. This not only left his teammates twisting in the wind, it prevented the staff from recruiting a replacement.
4. With TB, SU didn't diminish itself and tamper with him once his initial decision was made. By contrast, TT's "Mom" was secretly hustling offers on the AAU circuit knowing that SU was counting on her son to report for the season, and it seems apparent that SH had contact before we granted any release.

I mean, BOL and good riddance. It's over and we've moved on. He's the Hall's problem now. But let's not pretend that this was cool.
