Pay the man. That's how you get around it.

Man is connected to many and would bring that Polynesian atmosphere for sure.

I would love to see Noah's Dad get like some crazy contract to be one of the highest paid assistants, but with a job title that is bigger than just Assistant of a position. Something like Chief Recruiting Officer that would be a viable position long after Noah moves forward with his career. Like you said, he has influence. Washington is known to bring in recruits from that area as well though. It's a very bad situation, but could we get creative enough to start a new trend. Don't follow the herd... don't just watch it all walk out the door in the traditional way we have come to expect?

It worked out for Ronnie Chalmers.

I think LaVar Ball tried this too in his own way. A loud and disruptive way. I'm asking for a quiet and humble way by comparison lol.

For what it's worth, he got Lonzo and LaMelo to the NBA. LiAngelo had his chances, but wasn't good enough. Kind of crazy how Lonzo probably has earned (or will earn) over 100 Million when it's all said and done and he is pure jello for knees. LaMelo just got a 5 year 260mil extension and has only played like 15 games this year, oft-injured too.
