Re: Ask a College Basketball Coach
First, sorry for the delay...I've been caught up with the season.
[ QUOTE ] You state that your program is clean, but do you have any good stories about what other programs are doing to cheat in terms of recruiting? You obviously don't have to name the programs, but any stories about sex or money for the recruits? [/ QUOTE ]Well...sure, I have heard stories. Sorry, I just cant/wont go into details like that. |

Re: Ask a College Basketball Coach
[ QUOTE ]
what is your opinion specifically on the George Mason team of 2005 leaving college early to go pro? ( and then laboring in obscurity ) [/ QUOTE ]This happens to a lot of players..some are making mistakes and some are not. I mean, a lot of the times the players that make the jump are doing so at what would be their peak value. In other words, they are never going to pan out and be studs anywhere so they need to leave when the leavin's good. [ QUOTE ] what is your opinion on endeavoring to keep these college kids IN COLLEGE and not make a premature leap to the NBA? [/ QUOTE ] Again, they have to make the decision that is best for them. It would be great for the game if they all stayed for 4 years...but a lot of them would be making dumb decisions by doing so. |

Re: Ask a College Basketball Coach
How about some travel logistics:
* First class or coach? If coach, how do your 7 footers cope with it? * How do you feed the guys during the trip? Stipend, group meal, something else? |

[/ QUOTE ] none of GMU's players left college early. Question to the coach. %Chance your team makes it to the dance this year? (i assume or a mid-low major, above 20%?) Have you or do you no anyone that has payed a recruit? Do you play poker? how Often? online? |

How prevalent is sports gambling among college athletes? How closely do you believe that coaches monitor this issue?

[/ QUOTE ]1) cant answer this because some forum members know what school I work for 2) I have never paid a recruit or given them impropper benefits 3) Yes I play online...a lot during the offseason and holidays, not much at all during the season. |

[/ QUOTE ] I think you are very wrong on this. They may not be betting on their own games, but gambling on NFL or NBA I would expect to be very common. I started gambling while I was a college athlete, and certainly wasn't the only one on my team. Ken |

Re: Ask a College Basketball Coach
Take your best three-point shooter. His 3pt% is probably in the 30s or 40s.
What is his percentage during practice (unguarded)? I've seen other threads in Sporting Events saying that a good 3 point shooter should make > 60% in practice. Some even say > 80%. That seems too high to me. |
