I forgot to address this aspect of your comment. I think it’s crazy to send game goofy girls raised in a bubble off to college in hopes that a coach will teach them the game.

Do you know how easy it is for a life coach (aka pimp) to covince these young ladies that their dad and school is lame? They will tell her “let your next move be your best move” let’s go to the City or Vegas where she can make 20k per day and bring it ALL back to daddy.

Game is to be sold not told, so I’ll say less. But, I’ll let my little patna finish my public service announcement. I promise this dude is NOT a rapper. I recommend listening to this song several times before sending DD off to college.

Besides this issue why is there no news coverage about the State Auditor's report that was completed in 2020 about the inappropriate admissions process? Interesting reading.....

Based on my personal experience with Cal, I think they have cleaned everything up. I have never made calls for my kid and the only way the Jeweler could know of her network would be by reading this thread. My kid is actually more qualified than I had thought. Thanks for posting.

I thought your kid was working on an early IGETC for transferring. If she’s handling college level STEM courses already, she is qualified however you look at it.

Bingo. As a 12 year old she got A’s in Physics and Trig this semester and her Geometry class this past summer at ATDP. I just don’t want folks throwing shade because she’s a Fam 1st Foundation kid in attempts to minimize her hard work.

Growth mindset, you can always learn and develop. I will be guiding my daughter to a program that teaches cause they exist and are the good ones. You need to read Tony D’s book also if you think the Jeweler is a good coach. Also riddle me this Batman, why can’t he get out of the first round?

Of course universities never ignore complaints and always investigate them...."Michigan State ignored reports of sexual abuse by Larry Nassar for almost 20 years."

No comparison.

Would you apply for a job if you knew that 17% of former employees claimed a hostile work environment?

I’d have to be pretty hard up for work before I accepted such an offer.

All depends on what you compare it to, doesn’t it?

What's the pay? So 83% of former employees didn't claim a hostile work environment?

Uh, because they are the best teams in the country! With over three hundred D1 programs, to make it to the tournament is still pretty amazing.
 
Cal should always make it to the tournament. Anything short of that should get a coach fired (injuries being the only acceptable excuse). Cal recruits itself. It is one of the top schools in the country. Same goes for Stanford, UCLA, and USC. Those 4 should be automatics in the NCAA tourney every single season.

17% only relates to the number of people that came forward. Obviously the number is higher.

"Verbal and emotional abuse is much more common in athletics. It can lead to severe and long-lasting effects on the athlete’s social and emotional development. In a world where “more is better” in terms of training and “no pain means no gain,” there is a great deal of machismo in coaches. Most coaches coach the same way that they were coached while playing the sport growing up. This means that many coaches are still operating as if the training methods used in the Soviet Union in the 1970s are state of the art. “Ve vill deprive you of food until you win gold medal.” Central to this old school mindset is the idea that threat, intimidation, fear, guilt, shame, and name-calling are all viable ways to push athletes to excel. News flash: None of these is a worthwhile motivator for anyone. These are the bricks which line the road paved to burnout, rebellion and hatred of a once-loved sport."

So true, but lets start with the U little club coaches in southern California. And yes they are out there. Oh and also the abusive coaches for the olders who belong to a top club in so cal and all the other coaches at other clubs who fall into that category. Families and players suck it up to be on a top team and be recruited to a top D1 school. Start there and then maybe they will choose a college with a professional coach.

EVIDENCE
1) complaints and articles written about him have accumulated over his tenure and an explosive story with over 24 girls coming forward. Extremely bad press during the #metoo movement at a very liberal university
2) subpar results in the NCAA tournament compared with counterparts in the PAC-12 whose employers are also top 25 academic univ.

number two alone should get the man fired. add #1 and he should most definitely be fired.

How many years has he been at Cal? How many players have been in the program, total please. Fourteen, thirteen years? How many players on the team each year? Twenty-five to thirty? Eight or nine graduating, same coming in each year. So, roughly 325 players if you go with the low number of 25 and thirteen years. Round down to 300 if you want, so 24 players say negative things on a spectrum of seriousness 3-8 on a 10 point scale. So interesting. Certainly a lot to consider.

Sorry, I didn't word this correctly. Not different players but the equivalent opportunity each year for abuse, each player has four years for the abuse to happen. Tried to edit but time had elapsed. :(

your player number calc is way off. It’s start with 30 players, add 5-6 unique players each year. It’s 104-120 players in total.

it’s about 140 at the high end. If you use 9 players per class x 14 years + the Sophs and older in year 1.

That's amazing, being in the approx 20% of D1 programs that make the tourney!

yup. I took 9 per frosh class but 5 or 6 may be closer to average.

I was going to revise my high end closer to yours in case the classes were bigger. 24 out of 120-140 is a whole lot different than 24 out of 300+
