Heck, I almost think Dookie assistant is a better job than top man at Pitt! Plus, if he waits out Coach K, isn't he the most viable option to take over in Durham?

Duke assistant is a better job.

Shhhheeet, as long as the money is flowing the DOBO at Dook is better than the head job at Pitt. Funny that a lot of people were replying about Dookie losing their bag man. Coach K has to be out soon before someone slips evidence.

Good hire for them simply because of the dumpster fire mess that is surrounding the program. I don't love Mack but the alternatives probably weren't better.

He does not seem slimy enough for a place like lousville.

He's been overshadowed by bigger cheaters but he's not clean in the least.

He should fit in well then. I was worried for a second they were going to be doing things mostly on the up and up.

Good hire for Louisville. He is making about half of what some had said, but it’s still double what he is making now.

Honestly good for them. Things like that are obvious. But I don’t blame them. A top player like that in that situation is why things are the way they are. Wonder if that’s why Capel is leaving Duke.

Agree. That’s always been my argument about the Langfords. People say they are too good of people to accept money, blah, blah, blah.

They feel and probably do deserve what they are getting. It’s the marketplace.

My point is this is just another example of how families are cashing in “legally”.

So, since you've been driving this bandwagon on the Langford's cashing in on Romeo, let me pose this question to you. If Romeo chooses IU, how much do you think Archie and the program gave them?

Archie? $0.

Adidas or Nike???? The Nike Hoops Summit is a big indicator throughout the years.

So you are saying it's the shoe company's driving all of this, but yet you and others continously accuse all of these other coaches as being dirty?

Oh my goodness.

There are levels. Smallish time stuff from boosters still exists. There are people on campuses from certain schools players can go to get gift cards. 100 dollars to target, tattoos, cars, shoes, clothes, etc....

There is agents money. We’ve seen this detailed in numerous FBI accounts. Multifold.

The AAU scene is a big way to funnel money. From whatever sources choose to indulge.

And yes Shoe companies are clearly heavily involved. We’ve seen this in several known cases as well.

Certain coaches work with these entities and are “dirty” because of it. How involved the coaches and their chopping block assistants get likely shows by the results.

The whole system sucks. I’ve admitted long ago I would be fine if Archie was playing the game. I don’t care. I just want a level playing field.

 Not sure where to put this but saw this posted yesterday.  Maybe create a Social Media / video thread?  Anyway, love it!

Interesting piece from ESPN.com on being a burger boy doesn't automatically transcend to NBA stardom.  

During a 20-year stretch from 1993-2012, 42 percent of McDonald's All Americans played fewer than 25 career NBA games.

Less than half -- 43.1 percent -- played more than 175 games, the equivalent of two-plus seasons. Only 39 of 469 players -- 8.3 percent -- made more than one NBA All-Star Game.
