“Old coaches can’t survive in the new era of college basketball.”

Survive? Some of these probably mastered it long ago amid prying eyes.

And?

Did anybody say this about basketball? It's really an issue with football where you have a 85 man roster and need at least 22 starters not including ST.

In basketball these guys you mention were used to recruiting the one and dones and having to start over every year anyway. Then they only need 2-3 key players and 2-3 roles guys.

We were kind of doing it already in BB.

Completely agree. The NIL/portal era should be less of a shock to “old” basketball coaches who were already used to a lot of annual turnover and have fewer players and coaches to manage.

Also, basketball hasn’t changed as much schematically as football. Not to say it hasn’t changed at all, mind you, just not to the same extent as football. We all know how much Saban evolved from the McElwain days to the Kiffin and Sark days. I don’t think older coaches like Izzo and Pitino have had to adjust quite that much on the floor.

Arkansas is taking down Arizona. No one can stop Acuff.

These guys have been paying players for years, no change.
