His dad quit his job to coach him full time. Which either means they have a lot of money or no money.
And this goes a long way in explaining this past season and why Vance's friend showed interest in UConn.
Maybe dad is desperate, Vance is torn, some face saving statements and action by family.
Dad is not going to admit desperation. And Vance is going to support dad. No wonder kid looked down all season.
I was confused when people lumped Vance with Steve and Juwan regarding defense. Unlike those two I felt Vance improved on D. Not as much as Christian but quite decent.
None of us are likely to learn the entire story, at least for now, but there is absolutely no way a good friend of Vance's shows KO consideration if Vance had major problems with KO or if the worse characterizations of KO being proposed are true.
