100%, but when demands are made about starting, playing time, # of 3's per

game, etc....you are tieing the coaches hands. The coach is suppose to coach to win. A lot of these kids only care about the money and how they can pad their stats and not vested at all in the school or team success. Many are delusional about their skills and ability to make the NBA, when in reality most will be very lucky to even have a career in Europe. What are coaches suppose to do in this era...I sure don't know and don't envy that task. Whether you can or can't afford a kid, sometimes you have to show them the door and wish them good luck elsewhere.

What does any of this have to do with Gurdak?
GCHokie34 • 04/03/26 03:37 PM ET
Wrong, it did come from Gurdak's camp, at least according to a staff member
