REAL Reason Aussies Don't Get Fair Shot In NBA

St Mary's is one college where they develop competent players who also seem to make them good PEOPLE.

Following up Wayne's comment, college ball has such a high profile it's scary - almost like the expectations on the Demons in the AFL.

College coaching can be a job for life, and it's largely measured on bringing success to the program rather than the quality of the person they graduate.

They generally start with players with great skills, and their job is to harness those skills into a structure to give the program success. Development probably only gets encouraged where there's gap in the structure that needs filling.

They might talk a lot about picking only the best quality people, but I'm sure they'd pick a top-notch shooter who's a prick ahead of a nice guy who will get a few points and rebounds each game.
