Ernie Kent is who he has always been. From a high-level view, he’s a coach pretty much unconcerned with defense, instead relying on the offensive superiority of his teams to win basketball games. When coaching the Oregon Ducks, he could go out and get the Aaron Brookses, Tajuan Porters, Maarty Leunens, and E.J. Singlers of the world, albeit with some help from Phil Knight’s pocketbook. Eugene had become a destination for football and basketball at almost identical times; convincing a young kid to come to the Willamette Valley wasn’t as tall of task as when Kent himself attended UO.
You can blame it all on Bill Moos
