  Every successful basketball program is guilty. Every head coach knows what’s going on and probably organizes a lot of the dealings. They don’t get busted on it because it’s a system set up for coaches to have plausible deniability of accusations. Players getting paid for to attend a school has been going on since the end of WWII. I would bet money KU and Phog Allen didn’t land Wlit without giving Wilt some type of incentive to head out to Kansas.

  Congratulations to the few people smart enough to beat my top 22 finish. Next year I’m owning this thing.

Basketball has always been officiated this way, with possession awarded instead of a cheap foul call. Replay is horrible in basketball except for stepping on the line calls. No arguments. I prefer it not exist either.

  If my son was a top 10 High School player and a shoe company informed us he will see a few million more if he attends a college that uses their shoes it would be tough not to just do that. Money isn’t everything but getting a big head start helps. I really started thinking this was a thing with Wiggins. Plays at Kansas and then signs with Adidas in NBA. Self’s talk of not knowing where they really stood in his recruitment. It just seemed he was recruited by shoe companies.

  @wissox I agree … but I think if you miss it, say, it comes to you and just bounces of your hands (accidentally – the refs judgment that it was really a miss. Like bouncing off your back), that’s not good enough to stop a subsequent dribble. Because there was no control. But if you control it by batting it to the ground, like a dribble, you can’t then hold it and dribble again. Because the bat to the ground is actually control. Interesting.

  @wissox well, maybe you’d root for Duke too if your Alma mater was:

  I agree, great article. “It’s bigger than basketball.” Despite what most of us may have thought previously, here’s an example of a successful transfer. We just need to remember to focus on what the student-athlete experience should be about.

  @bcjayhawk It was fun to write as well. Took me a few days actually, unlike anything else I ever post. I’d write a little, come back to it later, do some more, etc.

  I didn’t have an issue with Hill, the other guys acted like Duke was up 20 the whole game and seemed to be cheering them on fairly hard. Oddly enough I enjoy Bilas and Jay Williams, I think they call it as it is. I cant stand Greenberg or Fran. Overall the tournament commentors are light years above ESPNs IMO.

  @dylans You make a fair point. Although let’s be honest here for a second - how many KU teams have been historically great over the last 25 years? 2011 was really good, but not an all time type of team. Maybe that team could have won in a wide open year, but they weren’t world beaters. Same for 2016. Really good team, but not world beaters that you knew could beat any team, any style, any night. When I think of all time type teams, I think of that 2007 Florida team, the 2008 KU team, the 2009 UNC team and the 2012 UK team. Those teams established themselves as the team to beat fairly early in the year and even though each team lost games along the way, it wasn’t a surprise to see them standing under the confetti in April. Going back a ways, the 1992 Duke team and the 1996 Kentucky team fit that description as well. Maybe you throw the 1997 KU team and 2003 KU team, but there were other teams those years. But that’s the thing. You get one or two years where you have an all time great team that is incredible. Every other year, its you and a bunch of other really good teams in the mix.

  I don’t know. UVA won the ACC four of the last 6 years. Yes, last year they lost first round. Why? They didn’t shoot the 3 enough, and they didn’t have redundancy in the athleticism department and Hunter went down . Both things have been corrected. Keenly watching their success this post season. If their system can translate to post season success, I will be looking if they can maintain a lack of critical flaws with the talent they recruit.

  Kcmatt7 said: We need to consider ourselves lucky. When UCLA can’t get their guy, but Nebraska can, you just have to appreciate your success in the moment. People who think we will have our pick of the litter once Bill leaves will be sorely mistaken I think. I legitimately believe Beard to UT is done as soon as they can possibly afford it. I think Tony Bennett wouldn’t even be a shoe in, and half of our fans don’t want him. Will Wade would have been a good pick until recent events. Anyways, good for Nebraska. I 100% agree with this. People think just because we are KU we can go get whoever we want. I have seen people mention Brad Stevens, Billy Donovan, etc… A lot of people have no idea of what the real search would look like.

Another talking about Bol Bol receiving cash from Nike Both guys were KU targets. So is Adidas cheap or clean? I’m betting on cheap. We never were a serious threat for Bol. Ayton was a different story. Gassnola was involved there on KU’s behalf.
