“I’ve never enjoyed agents. Period,” [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] said at UNC basketball media day Thursday.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] not a proponent of sports agents
The thought did not sit well with [link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and he said he would never speak to the player again if he chose that career path.
“They know that. I tell them right up front. It is scary — beware of strangers bearing gifts.”
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] said coaches have no way of monitoring everything players do and added that people should know right from wrong.
“There’s really nothing they can do for you,” [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] said. “I mean you can either play or you can’t.”
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] said he doesn’t have an agent like most coaches, and he used the dean of Kansas University’s law school for his contracts with KU and UNC.
Rather, he stated it occurred one morning when he was quoted in the New York Times and Los Angeles Times about agents.
“Another thing which is critically important is anybody who is a financial advisor or agent, or anybody who might represent his personal interest must contact our administration and set up an appointment,” Davis said in a press conference on Monday.
The most memorable moment in [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]’ life was not when he hoisted the 2005 National Championship trophy in St. Louis. Nor was it when he held the 2009 National Championship trophy in Detroit.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych] said that his basketball program is in “great shape” and no one from either the University or the NCAA has requested a meeting with him or any of the players.
“They want your money. … I’ve had a guy tell me, ‘Well we’re not going to charge four percent, we’re only going to charge two percent. I said, ‘I wouldn’t do it for a hot fudge sundae with nuts.’”
Agents found their way into [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]’ preseason address to the media in light of the NCAA investigation into improper benefits between agents and players in the football program.
In his 22 seasons as a head coach, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] said he has always made strides to ensure his players are protected from agents.
UNC football coach Butch Davis has implemented policies to better monitor his players. He requires players to sign out when they leave campus for holidays or vacations.
When asked what is so distasteful about agents, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] said there was not enough time to fully articulate all his dislikes.
“I don’t like the guys,” he said. “Even the guys that are good, I don’t like them.”
The coach referenced a time when a player approached him with the idea that he would go to law school to become an agent.
“I can’t imagine anybody in the country who worries about it and tries to keep their eyes and ears open on it more than I,” [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] said. “I personally check every ticket list; I’m the guy who stuffs every envelope for every road game. I want to know who is hanging out in the locker room.”
