This silly shitstorm is why athletes (and celebrities) writ large shy away from giving interesting, honest interviews. So Jalen Rose's thought process was a bit mis-guided and immature when he was 18 years old? Big deal. He had the stones to give an honest recounting of what he was thinking and now he is being pilloried for it. His standing by the comments, with gentler language, is a bit troubling. Though I tend to agree that Coack K appears to recruit kids who fit a certain profile. But again, big deal.
Hill's editorial, while entertaining, is over-the-top and indicates he missed Rose stating that the Uncle Tom comment was 1) his thinking as an angry 18 year-old and 2) largely said out of jealousy.
Oh, the Laettner/Hill rumors (and the knee-jerk reaction they elicit from Duke fans) never get old.
