Why are so many kids jumping straight from high school to the NBA these days? Is it because they are that good? For a few, yes, but for most, it is because they are too dumb to be able to be able to pass college classes and maintain their eligibility.
Today the University of Georgia released documents relating to NCAA rules violations by their basketball program. Assistant basketball coach Jim Harrick Jr. taught a Coaching Principles and Strategies of Basketball class in 2001. Many athletes (including some of his players) took the class. It’s not surprising that everyone in the class received an A when you read some of the following questions from the only exam that was given for the class:
How many players are allowed to play at one time on any one team in a regulation game?
How many halves are in a college basketball game?
How many points does a 3-point field goal account for in a Basketball Game?
In your opinion, who is the best Division I assistant coach in the country?
All of these questions were multiple choice! Things like this make me love the Duke basketball program more and more. Duke is one of the toughest schools in the nation, but year after year, great players graduate. It’s a true testament of the kind of person that Coach Mike Krzyzewski is. He recruits good people that have basketball talent, unlike other schools who recruit basketball players and then cheat to get by the rules.
