there is no such thing as team. It's ISO ball all the time and these teams are just a bunch of hired guns that assemble together to get as many looks at recruiters as possible. They couldn't care less about team, about each other, about winning, even. It's all about breaking ankles, crappy 3 pt shooting and getting noticed.
I wish there was another way...it's so horrible, I can hardly stand it. The tournaments cost as much as a pro basketball game...I'm not dropping $100 so my family can watch their 13 yo brother play bad basketball in a crappy warehouse in the crappiest part of town.
I have a lot of sympathy for Dave Rose. Because this is the system that top recruits grow up in.
College coaches hate it. The culture is just toxic. Geno Auriemma went off about it. Calipari always talks about how bad it is.
