The NCAA world, both in football and basketball, was driven by GREAT assistant coaches who could recruit. Yes the Calipari's and Pitono's of the world would seal the deal, but it was the assistant coaches who brought them in. They also needed to be good teachers, but if you're bringing the Shaquille O'Neals of the world, not so much. In todays world, the assistants have to be more of a negotiator. We are losing the amateur game quickly. IMO, the courts need to do something like 2-3-4 year contracts to prevent the 1 year transfer garbage.
