ANALYSIS/OPINION
When coaches complain that something is “not good for college basketball,” chances are great that the source of irritation is good for college basketball players.
Funny how that works, no?
Imagine that your son, nephew, brother or cousin is a super-talented freshman with “NBA lottery” stamped on his game. He’s smart, mature and well-balanced for an 18-year-old. You wouldn’t worry that a one-and-done season makes life harder for the coach and dampens the team’s outlook next year.
You would celebrate the fact that Junior positioned himself to sign an eight-figure contract that pays him more in two years than you’d make in three lifetimes.
