Well… this makes sense. Rivals was recently bought by Yahoo. 90% of Yahoo is owned by a private equity firm. Private equity firms destroy businesses, strip them for parts, sell the husk and walk away with huge profits. Whenever you see your favorite business start to massively decline, most likely private equity money is involved.

Apparently those exhibit 10 contracts are not really contracts

Here's my question: did he get paid to play in Summer League? If so, how does that not count?

Like, what if a player decided to play pro basketball in the CEBL (Canadian basketball league), that runs every May to August, during every offseason while in college? Would that be allowed? If no, then how is it OK to get paid to play NBA Summer League ball between seasons?

I personally think it's stupid but it's the technicality they are trying to say makes this ok.

Teams that have guys that move well without the ball are tough.

I’ll continue to say this-we need to have at least a set or two where we have all-player movement like this.

I understand the “hunting matchups” mindset, and overall this clearly works. However, the one Achilles heel is when the offense gets stagnant. Plus, it would be nice as a change of pace.

Never underestimate the ability of a company to prey upon the uninformed and/or desperate.

As an EIU alum, this is an easier non conference schedule compared to last year haha. We will forever be in basketball purgatory.

Last year:
@ Notre Dame (was actually a close game at half)
@#8 Kentucky
@#1 Purdue
@#4 Iowa State

However, we need as much money as we can get.

Agreed.

Wasn't too happy to see it, I get it's a tough place to win but it's time to move on.

Yeah, it's not easy to recruit someone to Charleston in general. I'd agree with that. That being said, Marty did nothing to deserve getting more time and Tom Michael leaving the way he did is shady as hell. Like I've already said on here, I'm basically checked out on the basketball program on here aside from watching a few games here on there.
