The Chalmers situation, though not against the rules at the time, did cause the NCAA to change their rules about hiring a player's parents. The parent of a player can longer be hired as the Director of Basketball Operations and must be hired as an assistant coach. At least I think that's what the change was.
Correct, they now have to be in a coaching position. Although I don't think it was one case that had them change the rule. Because if I remember right it wasn't changed for a few years after he was already gone. They also made changes so that you can't hire HS coaches in non coaching positions and then immediately recruit their guys.
Thanks. That clears it up.
I assume it's not the same for AAU coaches. I assume this because of the McNeil kid's thing with California. Or did he technically sign there first and the coach was hired later?
I have absolutely nothing to base this one, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Cal wind up implicated in this thing. They were pulling in high level recruits all over the place for a school with little basketball tradition. Martin has also bounced around jobs quite a bit which is never a good sign. Nothing to base this on at all, but it just kind of fits the mold.
Actually, yeah it is for AAU coaches as well but I believe that he hadn't been the AAU coach for a couple of years and also if he was he was hired in a coaching position so that would be ok.
Too late. They should have done that early yesterday to catch Nike EYBL by surprise.

Cal is one. So is USC given their history. Washington and LSU are also likely to get pulled in before this all wraps up IMO. Anyone wonder how non blue bloods were able to pull in guys like Markelle Fultz and Ben Simmons?
Soon to be overheard in legislatures across the country: "There oughtta' be a law against that!"
everyone kind of knows uk and louisville, usc etc are shady.
i want to see someone go down who no one suspects is shady, that's when things get interesting.

I like to imagine Cal as the FBI's confidential informant ratting out his paisan Pitino. That would be so Calipari.
So, are the players who accepted the money going to end up getting charged with anything? Just wondering what the NBA's position is on all this right now, because they absolutely have some guys in the league or entering the league who were paid to play at the college level.
They probably don't need to worry about the fbi. The irs would be a different matter
