based basketball build business coaches college dirty entity experience kids learn positive school sleazy spirit statement together
The statement that college basketball isn't a business -- let's be real here. It can be a business that can be a very positive experience for athletes, coaches, for schools. Kids learn responsibility, coaches learn how to put together a team, and administrators learn how to build some momentum, build a lot of school spirit based on that one entity -- the program. It doesn't have to be a dirty word, something sleazy to say it is a business.
basketball fifth grade high kids mature physically player rates school sixth time
It wouldn't make any sense because there's just too much time between fifth or sixth grade and the time a player is a high school senior. Kids mature at different rates -- not just physically but with their basketball skills.

aspect basketball believe create decisions kids mature mistakes player represent school situation somebody team understand
Believe me, I understand the whole aspect that kids have to represent their team and their school and their family, but mistakes are going to be made. Because somebody is an 18-year-old basketball player doesn't create a situation where that person is going to make decisions that are any more mature than another 18-year-old.

best camps college concentration definitely education game guess kids lose opportunity opposed players sane seen sight spread stretched supposed talent tend terms three top
The talent is definitely stretched a little thinner. In terms of the concentration of top 100, top 200 players -- it is spread out a little more. You think about going all the way back to Princeton, N.J., where you had the best 200 players in the country. Then, you went to two camps and now we're at three camps. I guess it's not all bad, because now you give more kids an opportunity to be seen. And we tend to lose sight that the game is supposed to be about opportunities for kids to get an education or be seen and do something better with their lives, as opposed to making it sane for college coaches.

We executed well in stretches, but . . . we took a couple possessions off. It was finishing off the execution. Three times we had (Anthony) Morrow open in the corner. They didn't see him. I guess he blended in with the crowd.

We played pretty hard, but their defense was the reason we didn't get into a flow. They really did a nice job of taking away our two primary threats in Morrow and Dickey.

We couldn't get anything to fall. Their defense was a good part of the reason we didn't make any shots, but we had some roll off.
