Good inside piece by my friend and former student Mike Croley about coaching college basketball at the mid-major level. What about that kid? I said, pointing to a 610 center from Texas with soft hands and nice jump-hook. You like Cadillacs, he said. I like Cadillacs too, but the big schools are already on him. He pointed down to the far end of the seating area. Three coaches from Baylor stood along the balcony. Gus made notes on the roster sheets we were given when we walked in. Around the room all the coaches wore performance polyester polos with the school logo embroidered over the heart. There was a lot of gelled hair and watches with dials the size of silver dollars. To a man, each one had on a pair of brand new running shoes. It wasnt exactly Gorillas in the Mist, but college basketball coaching is a very specific subculture with its own protocols, its own kabuki. sbnation/longform/2014/11/12/7193135/keep-moving-the-nomadic-life-of-an-assistant-college-basketball-coach
