My job as a college coach would be to put my program in the best position to win. That’s what I’m paid to do. That’s my job. Not advance people to the NBA. That’s on them. 60 people get drafted a year. Plus some undrafted free agents. Provide a work environment where one can improve their own stock.

Again...that's not the statement in question. If you go back to what the recruit said in the article in question, he indicated that Painter was good at developing players, especially bigs for the NBA. That's just patently false.

https://apple.news/ARgKpSYZqSLyGR8kQih4JMw This guy is the epitome of stupid. Old story that has recycled and due to the guy being a low-life, won’t go away. Frankly, not sure how the judge could have ever seriously thought that this guy would be good for the payments

Tacko won’t make it down the court to block shots in the league

Isn’t Tacko closer to 7’7? Also a big difference is Tacko averaged 2.5 blocks a game and Haas didn’t even average 1.

Is/was Haas not as good as Tacko Fall? If Haas would’ve developed an outside shot at all he’d be in the league, no question about it. I understand Tacko is 7-5 but Haas was 7-2-7-3 with a much stronger frame.

I did not say you shouldn't develop them but I am saying that I am not going to play a person where they are not really comfortable. If I have a 6'10 big guy but he thinks he is the next Kevin Durant and wants to stay outside I am not going to just put him out there if he is not really that great at outside shooting. I will put that player out there if they improve and hsow that they can shoot outside but until then you are going to play in the post.

To me the job of the college coach is to do what is best for his program and put players into position that will help you win. His job is not the get those players ready for the NBA over what is best for the team.
