A few false hoops rumors I want to squelch.

I'm surprised Dunson wasn't a first choice. It was announced very early on that

Dunson basically said in an interview that

That just tells us that KY's been more on top of this than fans realize.

Except we still lost Aly to Louisville

Yes, true.

Except Aly is not playing next year, so no 2025 loss. Louisville paid $600K + 2 scholarship yrs for 1 year of play. Good

Dunson met with Coach Young the very night Coach was hired. He HAD to be among the top few candidates. And, because

Seems I've heard plenty of contrarian opins to all his takes — right here on CB.

Pretty close sources to me dispute 3&4. And 1 is semantics.

Could be that "household name" is a former NBA player looking to launch a coaching career. Just a guess.
CalGTR
May 8, 12:49pm
I’m trying to think of a well known NBA player with leverage to ask for $$$$$
TheWanderer
May 8, 1:12pm
Recruiting bump alone for some of these cats would be worth a few $$

It was....Karl Malone!

I concur on #1. Semantics and who cares anyway?

Actually I’d say college is that way too. Offers aren’t officially made until

#3 was Chris Paul, for those not in the know.
Kdubb
May 8, 12:49pm
Chris has a $50million contract for next season. Hard to believe he would have left that on the table.
CalGTR
May 8, 12:50pm
There was talk of a buy-out & retirement, though — wasn't there?
SinkingQuffa
May 8, 12:52pm
BYU couldn't quite come up with the $50M+ to bring CP3 to Provo

Yeah, that's not QUITE what I meant. Ha.

Only about half of that is guarnteed and it's possible the Warriors want to

Huh? Why is his contract not like every other NBA contract and fully guaranteed?

Because he's old.

Sorry I should clarify this is tongue-in-cheek.

He got a nice raise.

You really sure about that?

Far from big raise. And not even close to “huge”.

You look foolish doubling down when you have ZERO legit info on it.

Exactly. Half of the stuff this guy just said is wrong.

If #5 is true, then what about Aly and AAA?

May 8, 1:21pm
Aly could've wanted to stay w the team — yet also wanted a more secure Staff w a solid NIL deal.

Does Louisville know that Aly is gonna be worthless during the NCAA...

If they're still under the NCAA ban, that might work perfectly for them.
