No it is not. This is a problem in our profession. Most are Machiavellian in their ethics. The ends does not justify the means. Just because someone has a good athlete on their team does not mean they are a good coach. It is truly frighting the way some people think in coaching.
"Machiavellian?" Really? Just the fact that you came up with that word explains a little about your post. Naturally you can judge the Illinois coaches ethics, because you are obviously brilliant. So explain to us undereducated folks just how the Illinois coaches ethics are so terrible? And just for the record, the Illini women scored 115 points in their Big Ten Championship. Hmmm...what one good athlete did that? Oh yeah, just a thought here...RECRUITING is a HUGE part of coaching. In case that slipped by you... I am going to make a new word: Douchiavellian. Haha! I am so funny!
