Sure I got letters with the head coaches signatures all the time, but I dealt with one assistant coach at each school who were pursuing me.

Outside of the 5 schools I visited, I didn't meet with any of the head coaches.

Come on man really? Are you seriously trying to tell me that Jeff Jones only meets with recruits on their visits and doesn't have significant interaction with those recruits that don't? That is word for word what you just said.

This whole Jeff Jones apology train is comical.

Actually it's not word for word what I said. I said that outside of the schools I visited I didn't deal with the head coaches. Dude if you think head coaches have the time to vet all the players being recruited you are clueless.

Basically a head coach is like the CEO they leave the vetting to HR (i.e. Assistant coaches).

But maybe my recruiting process was different then yours. What level were you recruited at?

Even if what you say about assistants doing the vetting is true, then we still have a problem. Who hired the assistants? Who trusts their judgement? The boss is always accountable...in any organization...everywhere.

Except at odu apparently, where only the players are responsible for their actions and nothing that they do, ever, is attributable to the coach and a lack of leadership. Oh and making the NCAA tourney is now considered an unreasonable expectation.
