Gee, I wonder which assistant coach might think it's time to move on.

Yeah Raoul cut off the part of the job posting that says being the parent of a top 10 high school prospect is a plus.

It really does come down to numbers.

The NBA has 30 teams with 13-15 players per team. That's well over 400 players. And that's not even counting the D League.
The WNBA has 12 teams with 12 players per team. That's 144 players.

As expected, the SEC changed its intra-conference grad transfer rule to make it consistent with the NCAA rule. Graduates of SEC schools can now transfer to another SEC school without having to sit out a year (or seek a waiver).

Anriel Howard can now transfer to South Carolina or Miss State without having to seek a waiver from the year-in-residence requirement. I'm sure the waiver would have been granted anyway but that hurdle is now gone.

SEC approves two rules regarding graduate transfers, serious misconduct policy

"For decades, the dome’s iconic white roof, which requires 24-hour air flow, has been the source of headaches during large snowfalls and jokes."

Which weighs more, Syracuse large snowfalls or Syracuse jokes?
Which creates the worst headaches?

A parent, AAU coach, former high school coach or player representative reaches out to a college coach about a player seeking a possible way out. The college coach responds by intrigue and subsequently gathering information. Neither party communicates directly until the release is granted (the player said so in the article) and once granted, the transfer process begins. I can almost guarantee this is how MOST transfers take place..

Not sure what Raoul is getting at, but he does this from time to time with particular programs. He's definitely not a UConn or Notre Dame fan, but I don't think he cares for SC or Tennessee either. A champion of the Big Ten and mid-majors...

I think you're right about his disdain for UConn and ND among others but I'm not sure he's making a derogatory remark as much as commenting that you rarely hear the actual story behind the transfer...........either way it seems that it was done above board so nothing to worry about
