Don't understand why people enjoy making that their role here.

Viciously?

He's probably retiring because coaches decided to dress casually.

The new transfer rules make it so that you have to re-recruit every player every year, and if you loose any, you have to now try to recruit transfers. It's a lot more recruiting.

If the least favorite part of anyone's job suddenly increased significantly, it might make you consider leaving, or retiring sooner than you otherwise would have.

This isn't about Wright, just a general statement.

And that extends to every manager everywhere in the US right now, not just college basketball. I welcome this change.

And in both situations, a guy leaving a coveted job opens things up for younger people to take over.

I want Self to stay here as long as he's a top notch coach, but in general, I don't like that there are so many 80 year olds (looking at you ACC) occupying these highly coveted jobs.

I always think about that with Emeritus professors...you're just forcing more people to stay at a post-doc longer.

AND the young assistant coach might not have a problem with 4X the old amount of recruiting, because that's all he knows. Whereas the older coach was happier when it was a smaller percentage of his workload.
