He was a great coach.
Also one that was found to have bent the rules more than allowed , more times than one.
But Bruce isn't the Lone Range, in the college basketball world when it comes to pushing the envelope too far.
So I'll just say he was a great HC and the college game will miss him..
As for his son taking over, time will tell if it's a good move or not.

That's pretty wild news. The guy won big time and his reputation for bending the rules almost seems funny now with how everything has changed. From initial reports, it looks like he is considering a future in politics. He's slick as the day is long, so he'll be right at home.

Very surprising. He's literally won everywhere he's been. He may have come to the realization that all the rule breaking that gave him an edge isn't rule breaking anymore.

Yes, it's no longer an advantage or fun when everyone can break the rules now.

K, Wright, Boehim, Roy Williams. Pearl ...at least some of these coaches see that it was a lot easier when they were paying players and others weren't.
