Dave in Green Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 It all depends on how much the head coach manages the way the assistant coach in charge of recruiting operates. Ideally, you'd want the assistant selling recruits more on the program rather than trying to establish too personal of a relationship. That way, if the assistant coach leaves the program, the recruits are not so inclined to follow the Pied Piper, but to stick with the program on which they were sold.The only way the UA program significantly changes is if the head coach moves on. But no one can blame a recruiter for trying to move his carefully cultivated recruits over to a new program he might move to. If UA should happen to get a new assistant coach in charge of recruiting, we would all expect him to try to switch those he'd been recruiting elsewhere over to UA.Bottom line is that sometimes you win in these situations and sometimes you lose.

Dave in Green Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 The assistant coach in charge of recruiting reports to the head coach. It's up to the head coach to ensure that the assistant does not establish the type of close personal relationship with recruits that would cause them to be more likely to follow the assistant if he should leave rather than stick with the program for which the players have been recruited. Easy to say, but no way to guarantee. So I would not put all the blame on KD if all of JB's recruits followed JB. But what happens in these situations is one of many factors that the best head coaches are likely to have a better handle on more often than the less successful head coaches. Who would a player recruited by an assistant to John Calipari be likely to follow if the assistant left Calipari's program and tried to recruit the player to follow the assistant to a different program?
