Huh?

I don't really understand Bender's position within the basketball community. I understand that he coaches some middle school teams and also tries to be involved in some local AAU teams such as Hoop Dreams. How does someone like himself support themselves. Bender is known to attend AAU events around the country and somehow gets connected with these potential future college athletes. Bender's reputation is so bad, that a simple Google search would be a huge eye opener, at least one would think. Maybe some of these kids are in such bad shape that they fall for his traps. He is known to brag about his pro basketball experience around Louisville, but now his name is tainted in alot of basketball circles, which is a good thing.
