If this was Kentucky, everyone on this board would want the book thrown at them.

This isn’t a court of law.

Money was exchanged.

Can’t prove he didn’t know.

It is over.

Self’s pot belly…

My take on Grimes, and this may come as blasphemy to some, is that Hudy should have changed it up with him. I know at this age the normal thing is to increase strength. It is the rare case that enough base strength is there already, yet I think with Grimes if you look at him that was the case. He would have been better off on a program that lightened his weight. He would have been quicker and possibly had better stamina which may have helped his jumper.

@Woodrow - I’m certain Cronin will face sticker shock when he gets here. $1,000,000 homes in nice areas, heavy traffic, long commutes, $4.50+ gasoline, pressure from alums, competition from all NCAA and pro sports franchises. It ain’t Cincinnati!

Should be really interesting…

Agree. I live about 45 minutes north of Cincinnati and the cost of living is so good that many pro athletes never leave or come back after they end up at other franchises.

But the ball did go off of Morretti even if it was a foul.

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.

The replay of the Moretti ball out of bounds is a horrific use of replay in basketball. I knew this was eventually going to be a problem. Since the beginning of basketball officiating plays like that, which could be called a foul, isn’t and instead, possession is awarded. They’ve done this to keep fouls lower and to not call a meaningless non-shooting foul and just call it a knocked out of bounds play. Now with last minute replay, a play like this is going to go to the team that fouled if the ball “slides” off the offensive player.

This is a can of worms that is opened, and I don’t envy the refs having to deal with it.

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.

Don’t get me started…

• The amount of players palming the ball is nearly 90%

• The number of 3-second calls is so low they might as well get rid of the lane. (Zion would routinely stay in there 5 seconds)

• The fumble of a pass that hits the ground IS, IN FACT, A DRIBBLE. When they dribble again its a double dribble.
