Tweets and quotes

Some great tweets.......

Celtics assistant Kevin Eastman and father of BU freshman Jake Eastman:
"Dropping my son off at college for summer session; just a reminder that they grow up as fast as everyone says they do; spend quality time!!!

Jim Les on the Squeaky issue:
"
Squeaky is a valued member of our basketball family-Once a brave always a brave-He is recognized/honored/forgiven/and welcome.
Unfortunately, a mistake made while wearing the jersey will cause him to fall short of the ultimate honor.
Squeakies passionate supporters are highly respected but we will have to agree to disagree and move on."

Lastly...from an interview, Illini assistant Wayne McClain says this about coaches who use means to recruit that are cheating:

"
Cheating is always a possibility in major college basketball recruiting.
Some players have their hands out, some high school and AAU coaches are looking to profit
from their players, shoe and other apparel companies have a financial stake in results,
and some schools take short cuts to produce a winner.
Some schools hire high school and AAU coaches to gain access to their players.
And some provide jobs and other opportunities for parents of players
so they can remain close to their offspring.
Illinois is not one of those schools, and McClain is proud of that fact."

That's funny, McClain is condemning the situation where a coach gets an assistant spot at a major college just for steering his players there!
Isn't this the pot calling the kettle black?
