Ari

True. Like I said, I don't think he answered nearly as well as he should have. He's not a very good off-the-cuff (is that the right terminology?) speaker.

Shooting from the hip!

I don't understand this one much. I think most people agree that there are very few high school coaches out there stressing fundamentals. Even if they are, they've shown a propensity to do what it takes to win over everything else, therefore creating bad habits and a serious lack of discipline (like telling the only good player on the team to take nearly every shot).

IT would be more funny if he was talking about CJ or Ari

True cookout, but why say that? Why throw the players under the bus like that instead of taking up the responsibility of coaching them? Also, I doubt high school coaches like a college coach blaming high school coaches for not winning with highly rated players. A coach doesn't say that when he needs his players behind him and high school coaches to like his program.

Recruiting is a small world.

I didn't realize he said that. It sounds bad imho.

Anyone know if Ari is finishing out the semester at Wake?

As far as I know, yes. He is still in classes. He has to be academically eligible to transfer.

Bump

Not smart for recruiting to call out the coaching ability of the head coaches of some of the better h.s. basketball programs whose future players you may try to recruit. Whether you think the coaches suck out loud or not you would think you would keep your thoughts to yourself.

And yes I realize it was on a radio show that has very few listeners and that no h.s. coaches listen to but you have to know the comment will get repeated and I'd be willing to be it isn't the only time he's said it...
