He’s getting a press conference tomorrow so it will likely be a health issue and not a scandal. I know he hates NIL but tough it out until April, bro. Unless you physically can’t for some reason

Yeah something definitely up, you don't just up and walk out a couple weeks before season starts for anything but health or family.

 

Rumors are that he was ready to retire sooner but timed it like this as he wanted asst. coach Ron Sanchez to get the job and didn't think that would happen if he wasn't given a shot to prove himself. Basically saying he did his coach and friend a solid.

I watched the press conference.  He basically said that he knows that he is no longer the best person to coach in the current environment.  He got choked up quite a few times talking about it.  He mentioned that they will need collective bargaining and a salary cap.  He thought about it at the end of last season, but had to jump right into recruiting, etc. and did not get much of a chance to fully consider it.  Wanted to leave now to give the new guys a couple of weeks to take charge, and he will still be around the program, if they will have him.

Salary cap in college sports. What a time. Haha

Shocked Season 10 GIF by One Chicago

When I was in college I did quite a bit of tutoring for middle school and high school kids. I wound up with a few Mormon families as clients, and talking to my dad one day mentioned it and he goes "well - the good thing about the Mormons is that their checks clear".

ESPN write-up

Excerpt...

A longtime assistant coach, Abdur-Rahim spent time on staffs at Georgia, Texas A&M, Charleston, Georgia Tech and Murray State. While on Tom Crean's staff at Georgia, the Atlanta native helped the Bulldogs sign top-five recruit Anthony Edwards, who went on to be the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NBA draft.

Before Abdur-Rahim left Georgia for Kennesaw State, he called Edwards to get his blessing.

"Signing a guy like Anthony, that's a relationship that had been four years building and in the making. There were people around it that I had real relationships with that trusted myself and the coaching staff at Georgia, that trusted me to be there," Abdur-Rahim said on the "Coaching Origins" podcast in 2022. "Before I accepted the job, I called a few people, I called Anthony and I just said, 'Hey man, I got this opportunity, but if you need me here, I'll stay. I'm perfectly OK with it.'

"I wouldn't have been able to recruit the players that I've recruited if it weren't for those, I call them, real relationships. Whether I got the kid or not. That person over there was going to be OK with me no matter what, and I was going to be OK with them."

Watching Edey get to do whatever he wanted on the defensive end while drawing every breathe breathed on him as a foul was a beating.

Yep. Edey elbows you in the face? Foul on you! Shouldn’t have put your face near his elbow
