Yep, but AAU ball is a better comparator. NBA guys are good enough to win
if the game comes down to street ball. AAU and college BB players just think they are. A lot of people would tell you all of these dynamics were already happening before the portal and NIL, but it’s just out in the open now. But it feels like it has affected us worse now for some reason.
I’ve also thought maybe it just seems that way and these things are really cyclical. We had some terrible, terrible teams under Johnson, Hussey, and Stokes. The difference now is that we actually have a good coach, but the team overall looks like those ones. So I do think the current dynamics poison the well worse for us than a lot of other programs.

Good points. This team clearly needs to handle the press better.
