Because the quality of players would be less. Tell me you don't see that completely obvious point.
Coach K "calls out" the NCAA
- Thread starter Delco Lion
- Start date
And how do you know? Again, you are another poor soul that has never met someone who is just a good person. Your life sucks.
Major college football teams draw more fans than NFL teams. I think everybody knows that the college players aren't as good.
^^^ This ^^^
I don't many people would stop watching college sports if a handful of high school kids decided to turn pro right out of high school.
Uh, I am pretty sure he could get an NBA job if he wanted/needed to do so. He
likes coaching in college for the same reason that Paterno did, and it ain’t for the money. Considering you are a Penn State fan, it is hard for me to understand how you can’t see that.
Who the hell is Zion Williams?NCAA Championship WON by Zion Williams = {0} Zero
Oh thank the Lord!
From under what rocks do you people come from?
He is and has been challenging the system he has been given. At this point in his life he doesn’t give a moment’s thought to what you are talking about. He’s saying the current system is so far off the road that something radical needs to be done. And he has been saying it for years on his podcasts.
It’s f’ing unbelievable how utterly stupid the masses are at times.
Because that’s the system he’s in.
Should he shut the door on a recruit that wants to attend Duke?
I’m no Duke fan but he’s competing with everyone else within the rules.
You do realize Duke provides a lifetime guarantee to all of their basketball players - they can return to get their degree at any time.
Good lord, Coach K is 72 years old. He has more money than he knows what to do with, along with the respect, admiration and appreciation of anyone associated with college/Olympic basketball. The future course of college basketball will have no impact on his financial security. Yet, you initially claim that he speaks from a position of financial motivation, and then change course and assert that you don't care what his motivation is.
I never claimed K couldn't have landed an NBA job. I'm sure he could have.
I hope he inserts himself into retirement!
LOL!!!
The irony of Duke not having enough fouls to force FTs at the end of the game is so rich.
I'm sure he has a motivation. That doesn't mean I should know or care what it is.
I can if you want. But it’s obvious he spoke up at a NCAA event (presser) because he could and knew it would be impactful. One of the perks of being great and older is that you can speak up without repercussions.
Good question? It seemed like rhetorical question.
He speaks out because he cares about basketball and especially about college basketball. If he were in it for the money or personal glory, would he have coached the USA Basketball team to 3 Olympic Gold Medals and 2 FIBA World Championships?
Fair enough. The linked article quotes him as saying the NCAA should work to make the college route a more attractive option for elite prep players. My question is, why should the NCAA do this and who would it benefit? I say an elite high school basketball player should be able to monetize his skills as soon as he graduates. Why should the NCAA or NBA force a kid to attend college? It's a situation different from football where 99% of high school football players aren't in the same universe of physical development as an NFL player. And before you go there, yes, I think the NFL should spend some of their own money for player development instead of getting a freebie from college programs.
A rule change is a given. Not exactly sure when it will begin (possibly with high school class of 2022?) but Adam Silver has talked about it and there is a general consensus in favor of a change.
Details? Seems very likely that a high school grad will have the opportunity to enter the NBA draft if he chooses or even to go directly with an NBA sponsored G-League team if not drafted. Could a kid go to college if didn't like his draft position? If he starts in college, does he have a two-year minimum for example, or could go pro after 1 year?
Things may change, but some of the best players may still prefer to go to college for one or more years. A guy like Zion got value, both personal and long-range financial value from attending Duke for one year.
Coach K rightly realizes this change is coming, and wants the transition to be good for the kids and the game as a whole. He will continue to recruit the most talented players available who are interested in at least one year of college.
Found this over on the UNC board. I think you will like it.
K is a self serving, egotistical, prick that uses people. And he’s become a pretty ordinary coach over the past 6-8 years of his career. He’s lazy now and relies on bringing in top talent, forsaking the principles he once stood steadfastly for, and berating referees to win games. Screw him. I wish nothing but failure for him.
Yup! He wins on talent alone(in which Ryan Day is gonna realize very soon)!!!!Found this over on the UNC board. I think you will like it.

About as spot on as it gets, Glov. 3 top-10 picks and not a final 4 appearance to show for it. I know a win is a win, but damn, what an unimpressive tournament for the Dookies.
You’re just a little late wishing failure on Coach K. He is one of the most successful in history!Found this over on the UNC board. I think you will like it.

I don't deny that.
He plays ALL tough teams either at home, NJ, or NY.
LOL!!
If you can call some of them TOUGH!!
And the rest of college basketball relies on bringing in middle to low talent. I don’t get you guys. Why is everybody so down on Penn State coaches bringing in 3 stars. Why get lazy and bring in 5 star athletes?!!!! Then there’s no coaching involved!Found this over on the UNC board. I think you will like it.
