    Taking $10,000 to play for Romar was dumb.

    This is romar apologists worst nightmare. Which most of us knew would come out eventually. EVERYONE is dirty in college sports. I'm sure basenight with make some shit up, but i wonder if his crystal ball had fultz getting cash?
    They will say it was all Chillios and that Romar had no idea
    Basnight will also say it was all Chillios idea to hire the dad of the the number one kid coming out of HS in Porter the following year... lol lol
    Hiring Porter's dad was a great move. It's not cheating if it's legal. It's not like Romar was hiring guys to coach anybody up anyway, hire assistants who can bring in the most talent.

    Jen did the right thing to fire Romar anyway, but hiring Porter isn't even close to making the long list of things Romar fucked up.
    Legal yes ... but clearly shady and exploiting a loophole

    I honestly don’t care about the Porter arrangement ... was what it was. The problems with it IMO was always that LoRo used to cry foul about such arrangements because it “wasn’t doing things the right way” as an excuse to his performance (or lack thereof), then he started moving to the dark side to get the players he claimed he needed and not only didn’t win, but actually started winning less.
    Link?

    I don't ever remember him saying anything about anything like this. His sycophants sure, but I don't remember Romar whining about this.

    If he did, I would agree that's fucked up. I doubt it.

    You very well may be right ... the narrative advanced by supporters and media may or may not be LoRo’s exact thoughts.

    What I go off of is looking at the actions instead of the words that LoRo would say. Also, let’s be honest in that with how much the media was inside his pocket, if he wanted a narrative advanced he had plenty of minions to do so for him.

    No one was harder on Romar than Tequilla.

    Of all the things people shouldn't bash romar for is playing within the rules to get top talent. If you are allowed to hire a coach who brings you top players there isn't anything illegal from it. That's how harden ended up at ASU rather than UW. With extra coach staff hires you may as well use one wisely.

    Does Romar have subpar intelligence? As a coach, sure, but not as someone engaged in the business of college basketball. He’s played with so many former pros or semi-pro guys who are now agents that he knows how it all works. To suggest Romar didn’t know anything means he’s dumber than we thought.

    Citation fucking needed. What an outrageous claim I've never seen before.

    I said it elsewhere ... the narrative constantly came from those that supported Romar ... most of those people are idiots that couldn’t think for themselves. Wouldn’t shock me at all if this narrative was advanced accordingly.

    Judging by Romar’s actions he changed his tune during his career ... that’s enough circumstantial proof to me to draw a link

    I'd hypothesize that after Romar refused to sign a single player in 2012, a total whiff of unparalleled proportions, he said fuck it and started playing the game. Fultz wasn't exactly subtle at all, unlike the others you could counter as local or having old connection to Romar.

    Seen this before someplace, but I can’t remember
