It is a trend for athletes these days to play only 1 sport because you can just about play that sport all year long with travel sports.
If athletes are playing other sports and you have to beg them to play yours, you are wasting your time. Today's kids will think you owe them or need them and will not expect rules to apply to them. Bad idea. Better off to play with the ones who want to play. I don't believe the talent is all playing football or baseball, the ones that want to play basketball are already there.
They should hire Ken Bingham, worked as assistant there before and at McNairy. Appears to have good knowledge of the game and is a hard worker looking from the outside in.
