We have an Insider stand-off, folks!
Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

I was gonna say....if you think they were the only ones doing it, I've got a bridge to sell you. I had a close friend who was a high-major D1 player and coach who told me years ago that just about everybody's cheating/paying guys...some are just better at it than others. Dee & Deron drove some nice cars back in the day. Just sayin.For the millionth time ... They found NO VIOLATIONS on Sean ...
Also - if you think no one in the Big Ten was paying players before NIL ... LOL
I'd hope this could serve us well if we have any chance of getting Gentry back.
Just be average in that department.... this team will be capable of so much,16-2 when we shoot 27% … Is that too much to ask for from these guys ???
Give us 30% shooting !!!!
Gentry is in line to be Gonzaga's top assistant once Michaelson is HC ... No incentive for him to really come back ...
I'd like our chances against anyone but 4-5 teams ...
They're in the SEC ... Mentioned them in the post ...
And Coleman was 40% of that
I couldn't be happier for Coleman ... Get that money kid ...
Find me an ‘elite’ coach that didn’t operate in the grey….you won’t find much success. Need to keep up with the times or you get passed.

It's all about plausible deniability. Hell, UNC used that to skate their academic fraud.
"Seriously, everyone. The basketball team can't be busted for bogus classes because the entire university was able to take those classes!" And enough people believed it for UNC to avoid punishment!
lol Happens

Functionally, they are the same. You pay players to play ball at your school. It is not false, now these things are just more in the open.

So are TV media contracts and the House settlement fallout.
Overall, it's fine to prefer one over the other but we are shopping in same aisle.

I suspect we had that guy, and now "Groce" is a four-letter word in this state.
More interested than you saying Dusty May would most likely end up at Indiana or Illinois after this season (24 hours later his new contract with Michigan was revealed). Or as interested as North Carolina was in Brad (days later it was revealed that Davis received an extension)
Yes.
lol even Trent was getting paid before NIL
I t has been 4 years since Chris Beard even got a team in the tournament.
must mean he completely forgot how to coach. No other answer.
He didn't just pay players. He arranged jobs for their friends. He paid for apartments for their family members. He paid off an ex-girlfriend of a player in exchange for her silence.
You can't do any of that. None of that is NIL.The fact that you functionally don't have to any more doesn't make it legal. It just makes it obsolete.
I'd actually be ok with hiring him if we had an opening, because I don't think he'd do any of that stuff again in an NIL world and I have no illusions that out staff has never done that stuff. Of course they have, one way or another. But to day "it's legal now," is just not true.

Well, it certainly is relevant to the conversation because folks on here have been banging on Brad for his lack of postseason success. I mean I would rather make it to the tourney every year and let the chips fall where they may than not make it all.
