Oh he can't?
Sampson says they don't recruit entitled kids. (nor parents)
He also demands that his players play defense.

Weren't we saying the same thing about Cryer when we were butthurt about him leaving. He can't really help us defensively

Also, one could make the argument that his parents were entitled.

People were arguing that Cryer might also be entitled?

That was just natural fan butthurt when a guy leaves. Lots of schools saying, 'How dare he leave; good riddance" these days.. It's a crazy scene.

When all this nil first hit, several knew it was gonna take awhile to settle (years). Wright, Bennett, Williams, etc. Didn't want to go through what many good coaches are going through now.

It will start leveling out after today's decision, but it'll still be years. Still academic issues to work out, collegiate or no collegiate questions, and then the big breakaway by about 50 schools, and some types of transfer rules, coaches salaries, facility financing. A cluster.....

Gonna take a long time. Those big coaches weren't stupid. Most couldn't leave that type $ on the table though.

Coaches thought the underbelly (aau, shoe companies) of big time athletics was a pain to deal with then; now there's many, many more filtering down to other levels. "Roster construction" is like juco and aau now; year to year except for the biggest of the big. Many schools will still be hunting like juco does in July and August.

IMO, coaching non paid players will still be a thing someday. But not for the Jones'. And not soon.
