Harder to reach your potential when your handlers make you feel like you don’t need to put in the work necessary to do so. JB ends up being the one that has to inform them of the reality of their situation. In turn, he’s the bad guy, and then the kid and/or his family want to go to a situation with a coach that will just stroke their ego. How many kids leave, and actually do much better? Basically just BJ, and that was an unfortunate situation, which was difficult to avoid. The kids who stick around, tend to do okay. Like Dion, and MCW. Not to say they wouldn’t have elsewhere, but they were disgruntled as freshmen, and now they look back gratefully towards JB. Brycen may succeed, but Cooley isn’t gonna get more out of him than JB could. [/QUOTE]
