Athletic and intimidating as he may have been, Young discovered quickly that basketball isn’t all about throwing down dunks and blocking shots.
he day he was tabbed as Jud Heathcote’s successor at Michigan State, Tom Izzo received a tip from the Spartans’ legendary coach.
“Find as many coaches’ sons as you can,” Heathcote told Izzo, “and recruit all of them.”
As much as they like five-star prospects and future NBA lottery picks, college coaches love to sign players whose fathers worked the sidelines, as well. They’re usually more attentive and respectful, they don’t groan as much when workouts extend beyond schedule and, when it comes to implementing new plays and schemes, they rarely have to be told something twice.
"I understand that you have to report it and that's fine but can we talk about the guys that play?" Huggins said. "Because he didn't play anyways and hasn't played. The truth of the matter is that he's been a nonentity. We started him to try and get some other guys motivated and he did work hard in practice for a while, but look at his career stats."
