Education is a much surer way to accomplish that. Basketball is like a lottery ticket unless you really are good enough to get a college scholarship. Many try, few succeed.

I love basketball, but I cringe at the time that should be spent learning math and communication skills that is spent on sports.

Yes – a very nice article. Lots of very desperate people in today’s economy. Many parents see basketball as the only chance their kid has to carve out a “successful” life for themselves and sometimes the rest of their family. As a result, it appears to me that many parents / guardians make poor choices when it comes to the inner circle of people they trust with their kids. Parents / guardians cannot be careul enough these days – sad but true.

It takes a special person to be a good coach. It’s a shame that some predators take advantage of the trust they gain in that role.
