Calling his basketball players shoplifters in poor taste.

Pike would NEVER EVER think or refer to his players in that way.

I didn’t take it that way. I thought it was based on what he has happen in his 30 years as a coach. Actually a quick search shows it happened quite a bit to many teams.

Greene always has a unique view on hoops. That's why we love him.

Didn't think he referred to his players specifically, just a general statement that kids had no $ & would get desperate but that is not the case. For all problems NIL brings it solved one.

From the link:
"Duckett, a criminal justice major from Washington, D.C., faces charges of theft and receiving stolen property."

Well it was part of a research project for his major, of course! He wouldn't have been doing it right if he got away with it...extra credit for immersion experience with Middlesex Co. courts.
