CMY may not be too far off from the realization that Bennett came to.
He is on record as saying he does not like where the game has gone and it wouldn't surprise me if his "fire" to continue to coach the game is extinguished.

well - they can also afford to retire because of the system.... i agree
with them in principle- but it also made them millionaires ... so i dunno....

When CMY started, I really wanted him to get a deep run in the tourney so
he'd get the national coverage he deserves (as a good human). In today's environment for vt mbb or many, I'm not sure how to get there as development time/experience is 1-2 years vs 4-5... Almost feels like evolving to a rec center pick-up game each year...run & gun and maybe you'll get an ncst run....And I'm not on the boat of paying 5 guys 500k-1 mil/each as the entry fee although that seems the direction of several programs... I think folks like CTB and CMY love the actual work..the coaching, the relationships and development of young men... Dealing with agents and the related distraction/interruption/obstacles begins to outweigh the love...

I think if this year goes like last and there’s a mass exodus again he’s
Gone. Hard to coach and develop the way he wants to when 5-7 guys may leave every year. Gotta keep improving NIL program to keep Lawal/Schutt/RJ at the very least after this season. Blue bloods were interested in Tobi this year, guaranteed they will be ready to strike after this season
