Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 2596107, member: 2117"] It is similar to Warlick's situation. I don't see McGuff getting fired unless he starts having losing seasons, which I expect will start next year. Both him and Holly have accomplished less with more talent than almost any other team in the country. Ohio State should be a top 5 team and threat to make the Final Four, but they're barely a top 15 team. I also expect them to completely fall off the map after this year when they lose 6 of their 7 top scorers. No standout recruits or transfers coming either. Whether it's allowed or not, I think it is incredibly shady to hire a player's parent the year the player starts school. I did not like when Landers did it and I don't like it with McGuff. Whether the coach is qualified or not, it sets a bad precedent and in this case, the Mitchells were able to milk a scholarship for Chelsea Mitchell out of it too. It's no secret that she's barely a D1 caliber player. Chelsea and her father were suspended a few years ago for, "conduct detrimental to the team." I think the entire situation of hiring a recruit's parent and giving a scholarship to an undeserving sibling sets a bad precedent all around. I'm also willing to guess that the Mitchell clan enlightened Tori McCoy to try pulling the same antics and get a scholarship for her mediocre sister wherever she transferred to. [/QUOTE]
