When Gaudio left Aminu was still on our roster as I recall.
Again, please substantiate this.
Here's what we know:
AFA declared for the draft on April 5th (See this link).
Contains the following paragraph:
"This was a difficult decision," Aminu said in a statement. "But after talking it over with my family and my coaches, I believe now is the right time for me to pursue my dream of playing in the NBA."
Coach Dino Gaudio said he did extensive research with NBA executives and believes Aminu is making the right choice. The Norcross, Ga., native is widely projected to be a first-round pick.
"I want to wish Al-Farouq all the best," Gaudio said. "I'm looking forward to following his progress in what will undoubtedly be a successful pro career."
Dino was fired on April 7th, 2010.
It blows my mind that this is still not a "fact."
Regardless, it seems as though Dino and the program were resigned to the fact that AFA was gone prior to Dino being let go.
