With a zest for innovation that fellow Dookie Quinn Snyder can only hope to emulate, Crimson coach Tommy Amaker has accomplished an unprecedented feat : for the first time in recorded memory, the words “Harvard basketball” and “recruiting violations” have appeared alongside each other.
Texas Tech were routed by Kansas, 109-51 Monday night, 5 days after suffering a 44 point drubbing at the hands of Texas A&M. Though the Red Raiders did manage an upset win over no. 5 Texas on Saturday, they now suffer the indignity of reading Pat Knight’s assertion that his charges “looked scared” and “not one guy showed up”. Where could Knight’s players have gotten the idea that quitting is rewarded?
Amaker’s shenanigans have been out in the open for a while now. Credit to The Crimson, though, for eliding over some of the Hugginsian aspects that came out in the original Times article: the recruit’s parents who were approached during a dead period? That was at a ShopRite in Jersey in the middle of an AAU tournament.
Wear that mock turtleneck with pride, Tommy.
