IMO, what he did is nothing compared to all the shenanigans that take place in amateur athletics. He didn't pay them for hard fouls. It's for playing good defense. Did he do wrong? Yes. But I'd have to call this one a "ticky-tack".
Wow, I hope they did the right thing and followed that up by revoking the players' amateur status. I'm going to guess that they'll be ineligible for the NCAA now.
