WASHINGTON (AP) - College coaches got off easy for a change at the latest Knight Commission event, at least when compared with summer league coaches.
The panel that promotes reform in college sports heard some sobering comments Monday from high school basketball coach Joe Wootten, who spoke of summer league coaches who offer players up to $15,000 or seedy trips to Las Vegas to join their teams, all in violation of NCAA rules.
"They probably recruit 10 times more than any college coach ever does," said Wootten, who has won three state titles at Bishop O'Connell High School in Arlington, Va. "They're not responsible. It allows a forum for a lot of corruption."
