I love the drama! I don't understand what all the whoopla is about though they are just kids. Let them play! I look forward to seeing what they can do and everybody that loves a good basketball game should too. I've been around basketball my whole life and those that are politically correct get the eligibility and those that are not, don't. I also know that ER must be politically ran to see these events happen so easy. These guys would have came to (if not ER) some other school where the coach was not satisfied with his pool of exisiting players. I do wonder how a coach could evaluate so quickly to know if what he had was not good enough. I think part of the fun of coaching is watching your players grow and come together as a team. I hope these young kids understand that sometimes life is not fair and people get in a hurry to make a name for themselves at the cost of others. I will root for these young men right along beside all those kids that I have watched grow up as young players. I hope that they realize that now more than ever it is just a game, a kids game!
