Jimmy set the bar pretty low in regard to hypocrisy in coaching when he left. Hendo has dropped to a similarly low standard, but with a smile on his face. I don't care that they both took assistant coaches with them. Coaches are grown men who can do what they want. I don't even care that much that they took experienced Jackrabbit players with them. Today's pro-like, screwed-up, free agency system in college basketball encourages veteran, rostered players to check other playing and NIL opportunities. It does bother me that Rogers and Henderson both took future recruits - teenagers who had been scouted and signed at SDSU's time and expense. Coaches set a bad example when they act like high school recruits are their personal workforce and should follow them rather than honor their initial commitments to a school. I'll get over it, probably, and remain a big Jackrabbit fan. But these transitions sure have become painful.
I don't comment often, but I can't agree with you more on your post. Very well said.
What's even the point of (low) mid major DI hoops? The game itself sucks - a 3 point shooting fest. Why get excited about recruits? If they're good gone as sure as the the sun coming up in the east.
