Coach K spoke about the NCAA recruiting reforms on Friday and while he basically thought that the intent was okay, the communication was lacking. Apparently the NCAA didn’t speak to the NBA or USA Basketball very much - USA Basketball was supposedly blindsided by the idea that it would rank high school players and suggested that the NBA should be the choice to do it.

He also was upset that communication and instruction between coaches and players wasn’t addressed, specifically during summer. Coach K has pointed out for a long time now that it’s better to have more communication and involvement between players and coaches than less and the NCAA still doesn’t seem to understand this point.

He also talked about the coming trip to Canada and his excitement for the coming season, which from here, seems justified.
