It sounds like Art still has Frank's back.
Art needs Frank. It's almost a guaranteed pipeline to get his kinds to a good program in a good league that he can brag about to keep his organization relevant.
Sometimes, it will work for us, and sometimes it won't. But we can manage out the ones that don't, and Art can come up with some bullshit spin and say he's sending kids to play D1 basketball and circumstances prevented them from finishing their eligibility.
One Art guy leaves, and now there's room for another. It's the circle of life.
