The discussion has a legal angle to it, so I don't see how it's irrelevant or obtuseness, but it appears I'm in the minority. Not intending to drag it out though.
That's not the impression it's meant to give, or it wouldn't really hold any weight. He doesn't formally assess kids, right? So what would his personal opinion have to do with anything? It's intentionally vague so he can make that argument while still giving the impression he's relaying real...
Not saying I think Izzo should be fired for this, but the context is completely different. Thabeet once got judo-flipped in a game. That doesn't mean that judo--flipping someone is the threshold for what coaches can do to kids on the sideline.
Just got recommended this video on Youtube.
The title is indeed Houston Rockets vs. UConn Huskies.
He picks Wichita State to win. Not kidding. Superb video.
People enjoy watching other people who are incredibly good at things. It's not that hard to figure out. It's not your fault if you can't tell what being "incredibly good" at a particular game looks like, but surely you can imagine that some people can.
Because he only registered for the summer class because OSU's AD said Matta wouldn't be fired. So the kid decided to get an early start on his education, he didn't wait as long as Sid did to change his mind.
...it works is the schools conduct their little internal investigation, and if they think there is a problem they self-report to the NCAA that the kid might be ineligible and then ask for a review and possibly a waiver.
This doesn't have to be made public and if the school has no games during...
...with large amounts of money and the fact that coaches are technically public employees at these schools.
Adidas could openly give $100,000 to a kid to attend Louisville if they wanted. But doing so would openly make said kid ineligible for NCAA participation and thus Louisville wouldn't give...
...place to complain about him. We haven't seen him play and we his ranking isn't set in stone.
I don't know where the line about "cloaked in anti-Facey and anti-Brimah sentiments" is coming from. Did anyone bash Facey and Brimah when saying "hey let's lay off the kid in his congratulation topic."
I'm not claiming to know anything about how LL districts work anywhere, are you? I'm just saying they have different expectations for how hard to work kids from what I've seen.
Whether or not you intended it to be about race, you listed a bunch of things that are racial stereotypes against black students. There are a handful of people here who think things like AAVE are "bad grammar" or a sign of laziness, though, so you're not alone.
As has been said before in this thread... These kids play a ton of games and an anomaly like that is both statistically acceptable in the long term and understandable with the level of fatigue they probably have at times.
But if they already have 13 players on scholarship for next year they let you have a 14th if it's your dream school? Kids can go anywhere they want. If they want to play D1 sports, the NCAA can make rules about it.
The players are evaluated on their skills and given numerical scores and then those are scores are ranked. It's not hard to see how other kids could improve scores while someone else stagnates.
