I haven't seen a second of this Porter kid because Romar has killed college basketball for me, but if he is really that good how hard is it to double down on the shadiness and retain his dad as an assistant?
"Hey pops here is 325k to be transitional recruiting coordinator for the new hire". What coach wouldn't want him on staff for the pipeline that is his seed?
All this worry over Porter. Hasn't he signed an LOI?
If he has, he's not going anywhere but the UW so fuck off. If he hasn't, he's a shithead and Romar never closed the deal.
So what if Porter goes to China or someplace to sit out his mandatory year for NBA eligibility? The roster needs totally retooled and that's going to take more than Romar's one-year of Porter halo.

I say fire Romar, but yes it will almost certainly cost MPJ.
Is there any news or any substantiating the rumor that Romar is supposedly moving on/out? Actual news tends to get buried around this place
There's nothing that I've heard publicly to either staying or leaving ...
As I said elsewhere, Cohen's been silent on this issue for the balance of the season. The usual protocol when you have an embattled coach like Romar is right now is some kind of public comment offering support. I haven't seen anything close to that.
The other thing that gives me optimism is that members of the too slow to the party Seattle media have started making noise about Romar. If there's one thing I've learned about the Seattle media, breaking stories, and being hard on a situation it's that they rarely say anything until they are hearing things off the record that make it look like they won't have to be accountable to the person they are criticizing much longer. The media in this town is way too caught up in their access to ever threaten calling it as they see it.
Both of these are quality points. Chinteresting. Maybe @haie knows his chit.
I've forgotten more chit than the Seattle media boners know.
Romar has been gone for awhile.
When will it be public?
No idea. All I know is he had a discussion after the UCLA game, and the end result was that he was told this was his last season. I also know for a fact that the AD is convinced Porter Jr. would still come here even with Romar gone.

Who cares? Keeping Romar got Fultz for one and done and a shit season with no tournament again.
Unless the goal is to park #1 draft picks for a year while they stay in shape, FS to keep Romar. Otherwise they go to China and sit out a year. And somedays, wandering around campus is about the same as being in China so save them the travel/shitty food.
Romar is four fucking games behind Ernie Kent and the Cuogs for christ sake. Jesus. That is shit.

Katelon Redmon might disagree on that. UW forced her to play for that bitch Tia for a year after June got fired.
You sign the LOI, that's where the fuck you are going to school unless released. Jen has all the mighty power in her tits on where Porter plays next year -assuming he signed it and Romar wasn't butt-fucked into giving a financial aid agreement instead. In which case, Romar and Jen are the dumbest motherfuckers in the world for giving the dad an employment contract and the kid free reign to do whatever the fuck he wants.

That's the exception that proves the rule. UW isn't going to do that to Porter, especially not when they're hoping his younger brothers play for UW one day.

I think porter jr would almost have to stay. It would be very hard for a team to take him on plus pay his dad without a lot of scrutiny. UW still has the ability to pay his dad and claim he's been on the staff. Very few staffs are looking for a 400k a year 1st assistant who is part of a 9-20 team.

Ain't nobody winning a title in China while Stephon Marbury can still ball.
I haven't seen a second of this Porter kid because Romar has killed college basketball for me, but if he is really that good how hard is it to double down on the shadiness and retain his dad as an assistant?
"Hey pops here is 325k to be transitional recruiting coordinator for the new hire". What coach wouldn't want him on staff for the pipeline that is his seed?
They gave Pops a two year contract. Other schools would try to hire him though if Porter was released. Duke wouldn't, but Cal would, Pitino would, Alford and Miller might.
The guy who wrote an article on si.com about coaches on the hot seat (he said 75% chance Romar is fired) said Porter Sr. would be the most in demand assistant in the country.

Jen's got the Porters by the BALLS.
Not like some other she's had by the balls (allegedly). She has their cajones right where she needs them.
This idea of worrying about what the other Porter kids do is FS ...
If Porter Sr isn't on the next staff, Porter Jr either goes where his dad goes if given his release, plays internationally and never shows up at UW, or plays at UW anyway. Any of his kids after the fact will either go play where pops is or do their own thing ... very little chance any of them play at UW.
You don't make these decisions based on what one recruit or assistant will do. The Seattle AAU scene will likely throw a short-term fit anyway when Romar leaves so you are likely looking at a lengthy rebuild anyway as the entire roster/culture needs to be turned over. If a strong coach is hired, his first job needs to be to build up a culture at the youth level that works going forward and not the bullshit that we currently see at the Seattle HS level that basically looks like your standard pickup run at Green Lake with officials and uniforms.
This thing is a massive mess made worse by allowing shit to continue way longer than it ever should have.

I think there would be many programs that wouldn't care one bit about the scrutiny.
You give the media a fluff answer about Porter Sr. being a good coach while acknowledging getting his son was a sweet perk and go win some games.
