Thanks for the information
Well, you don't exactly advertise that you don't have the money. However, I work with people who know Walz really well. Jeff is not short on words when it comes to NIL. UofL's NIL budget for women's hoops is $500K. UK, by comparison, is $1.2M. That presents challenges, obviously.The question is if money is the problem how come they are silent about it. One would think that if it was the reason we would hear about it.
Good take. I think this is also what makes this particular Duke team so tough. You can hang with them for a while but they eventually wear you down. I actually enjoy watching Duke BB for the 1st time in 40 years. A gritty team and not just a bunch of pretty boys as usual. They play Big Boy BB IMO.The teams at the upper end of the SEC are terrific offensively. They operate incredibly fast and efficient. In building a roster the only way to slow offense like this down is to switch everything. Then deal with the results. Auburn is the only one that has a big that is a killer inside. Make them earn it down low. Then force the guards to drive try to force contested 2’s.
IMO lack of overall support for Men's BB during this period at Tennessee. Pearl changed that. Wade was presented with various business opportunities which he chose to successfully pursue rather than continue to play 3rd or 4th string to UT football and Pat Summitt and the like. Class act.Why wasn't Wade Houston a great HC?
