I think the responsibility of coaches is way over blown. Should they try to make sure their kids are going to class, yes, if they want them eligible.

But at the same time, these kids are adults. They have the ultimate responsibility to make the grade and graduate.

How many senior players have been drafted in the last few years? Even Duke has had only 1 senior actually play through the last few years.

I think Rut hit it on the money, these kids have been told since they were 10 they were good. They have been coddled in AAU ball and told they were good, then they think they can play NBA ball.

With all of the trainwreck players the last few years you think the kids would wake up, but it seems to make them more determined to prove they can do it.
