PurplePride92 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I know I've heard this is apparently accepted practice but it just seems a little off to me. Not saying that it doesn't happen a lot, but it just wouldn't sit well with me. Did the "new coach" get a signing bonus? What was his prior employment? All questions I feel are better left not being questioned because of the situation created under those circumstances. Congrats to the young man and WKU. This practice has been going on for decades. The Washington kid at Memphis who missed the free throws against UL in the conference tournament played for Calipari and he had family on the coaching staff brought in when he committed to Memphis. This is an age old practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Professor Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I know it appears that WKU was actually wanting Bassey but it was his coach that they were after. Signing Bassey was just bait and it worked. 🤭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
