Welcome back to another episode of the Hybrid Ministry podcast. My name is Nick Clason, sipping coffee with you on this beautiful Monday morning. Nick Clason (00:17): And if you're just listening to this, you're missing out cuz you didn't get to see me drink out of my beautiful Ohio mug, which I would, uh, widely consider to be my home state. Anyway, in this episode, I am excited to, uh, talk to you about a, a really weird kind of topic a little bit, uh, but I'm gonna talk to you about my learnings from NBA head coaches and the shift that is happening with the next generation. And so what I mean by that is we are going to dive in a little bit. There was a recent study that came out, um, from the Athletic, uh, I'm a big basketball fan, you guys probably know that about me. Um, there's a big study that came out about the worst coach, the, the coach that the players would least want to play for. And that was fascinating to me because what that signified was that is that coach was a very old school coach. Nick Clason (01:09): What that signified to me was that this means that there is a shifting in the way that people are, are having things be done, and there's a shifting in the way that people want things, frankly, to be done. And so because of that, uh, I wanted to inspect that just a little bit. It's like, what is going on there? So that's what we're gonna be diving into and talking about. But before we do, I just wanna remind you that you can follow me over on YouTube. We have a full YouTube channel with I post daily shorts as well as a weekly podcast, full length video. Um, it's complete with overlays and statistics. And more and more we're diving into statistics and things like that. And so if you hear something of, what was that again, it will more than likely be over on YouTube. Uh, and on that section of the video also, it could, um, if it's not there, it definitely will be over at Hybrid Ministry xyz. Nick Clason (02:01): And for this episode, it's slash 0 5 0 because we are on episode. Can you believe it? Episode 50. Crazy. I know. Um, also wanna remind you that if you would be so kind, we would love a rating, um, or a review, just sign into your Apple Podcast app. If you've been listening for any length of time, it would mean the world to us to have a little review, to hear from the people, uh, about what's helpful, what's beneficial, um, and what you like about this show. Um, and as a token of our appreciation, we will give you our 100% completely free ebook on how to know if you've even ruined your church's TikTok account. By the way, your church probably should be on TikTok. And so if you're not yet, head to the link in the show notes and grab your 100% completely free ebook unknowing if you have ruined your church's TikTok account. Nick Clason (02:56): But without any further ado, let's dive into what I have learned from NBA head coaches about the upcoming shifting and new generation that's upon us. So what have we learned from the NBA and their head coaches? Like I said, big basketball fan basketball nut over here. And so there was a recent survey done. It was a player survey. They surveyed, um, as many players as they could, I think something like 500 players. Um, and they asked was the coach that you would mo least like to play for and the overwhelming winner. And in that response was, um, Tom Tebeau of the New York Knicks. And so if you're not a basketball person, lemme try to paint the picture for Tibs. He's sort of this rough and tumble like old school kind of player. Um, uh, a good example of this, like a reason why is there is a guy drafted a couple years ago. Nick Clason (03:50): I'm a I'm, I'm personally have an affinity for him because he's from the University of Dayton, which again, I would, I would widely consider Dayton, Ohio, Cincinnati, Ohio, that sort of like southwest Ohio region, my hometown. I lived there for, uh, more than half of my life, my wife born and raised there. And so that also helped kind of tie my roots back to there. Anyway, Obi Toppin was a player who played for the University of Dayton. He was drafted to the New York Knicks and Tom Tido or, uh, nicknamed Tibs doesn't play rookies. Like he just doesn't. And so what's funny is Tido had really big and good success, uh, over in Chicago. Uh, you might remember Derek Rose, he was an mvp. Uh, rose played for tdo. Well, a couple years back when they drafted Obie Toin, he had Rose who's like the ghost of himself cuz he's had like multiple knee surgeries. Nick Clason (04:40): Uh, and Taj Gibson, who's like just this older mid thirties player and those guys are getting all of the playing time. Tdo often plays his players, uh, upwards of 40 something minutes and there's only 48 minutes available in a basketball game. And so he really just like locks in on his, the players that he likes and drives them hard into the ground and they just play a lot. Now you might be thinking like if you want playing time, isn't tid the guy? And yeah, that may be the case, but in recent years, N B A players have taken on more of a, uh, slower approach and a little bit more of like a self-care type approach. Kawhi Leonard has made this famous, he, uh, was traded away from the Spurs because he, he wasn't recovering fast enough because he needed more time to help heal his body. Nick Clason (05:29): In fact, Kawhi Leonard, uh, does these things where he, uh, and it is made famous by him, but now a lot of players do it. It's called load management. And so if there's like a back to back game where like they play one night and they also play the next night, he won't play the next night, um, just to preserve and take care of his body to make sure that one, he's fresh for himself, but two, that he's fresh for the playoffs. See, with Tom Tipo, almost all that stuff is out the door. And in the, in the nineties the nba, there was sort of this mentality, this like bad boys' mentality. Like you, you gotta like get in there, be rough and tumble. Uh, they, they refereed the game very differently. You could be a lot more aggressive and dramatic with your contact and the way that you played. Nick Clason (06:14): And I just, I say all that to say is that Tom Thibodaux will be a great coach, I think in that era, the Bad Boys era of 1990s basketball with the Detroit Piston and Joe Dumars and Isaiah Thomas and Bill Lamb beer and Dennis Rodman of the Chicago Bulls. But it's 2023 now and the game has changed and it's a much more fluid offensive game. I mean, if you're, again, if you're a basketball person, hang with me if you're not. Cuz we're gonna get to some of the implications of this cuz this is the only like real basketball section right here. But like the, the New Age Warriors, they have completely changed the game. And they don't even run with a traditional center like Draymond Green, who's only like six foot eight, six foot nine. Draymond Green is running their, uh, center position, their tallest player on the floor, and they have five guys out who can all shoot. Nick Clason (07:00): You got like Clay Thompson and Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole and all these guys with Draymond in the middle, the only guy who really can't shoot, but he's short and he's helping facilitate and kicking the ball all to all these places and it's much more fluid. And what's interesting is that you got their coach, Steve Kerr, who came in and completely reinvented and, and brought the game to the way that the players wanted it to be. Now if you're sitting here listening and you're a church leader, you're a pastor or you're a business owner, you're thinking, well that generation, like they need this next generation. They need to chill out. They need to stop being so, uh, soft and needing things their way. And here's the the thing I would just say to you like, yes, maybe that is true if they come to work for you and your business, but what do we see? Nick Clason (07:47): What, like look around post covid, look at every like donut shop, every drive through every burger place. Like people are not coming back to work. Why? It's not because they don't want to. It's not actually, it probably is because they don't want to, right? But it's not cuz they don't wanna work, they just don't wanna work there. They don't wanna work for you. They want to work for themselves and make money. I recently heard a podcast of this, a 19 year old kid who's out on TikTok making millions and billions of dollars and thousands and thousands of followers, and he will probably never go flip a burger over at Burger King. And so while we can be like those kids, they need to learn this, this, and this, they're not learning that in a traditional workplace. They're out there hacking it for themselves. And so here's the thing, if you are a church leader specifically, or a business owner, you have this generation who's out here kind of paving their own way, hacking it for themselves. Nick Clason (08:48): If you want that generation a part of your organization, you can't be like the nba, uh, or you can't be like Tom Tito of the nba where you just keep doing it your own way because that's the way you've always done it, right? In fact, you need to shift your thinking to start figuring out how you can accommodate that generation. Not because the church is about serving and self, self-serving and and selfishness and all, not, it's not about those things, I get it. But if you are a follower of Jesus, you have a mandate to reach every generation with the message and the gospel of Jesus Christ. And that includes generation Z. And by the way, soon to be generation alpha, who is already starting to graduate into our youth ministry next Sunday, we promote our fifth graders into our sixth grade and fifth grade is not considered Generation Z. Nick Clason (09:42): They're considered generation alpha. So what that means is our, our current youth ministry and current college and young adult ministry that is Gen Z. So pastor, if you're still trying to figure out how to reach millennials, I'm a millennial. I'm mid thirties. Like they're already the majority of our workforce. They are our current parents of younger kids. You need to start figuring out if you wanna reach younger generations. It has shifted. And Gen Z has a very different mindset than a millennial. It can be similar in some ways, but it is different. And so what can we learn? What has the NBA shown us? So I, I came across an article about six things that Generation Z is looking for in their next workplace. So let's power through those different six things and take a look at what we can learn from them. Nick Clason (10:34): All right? So this is article, it's from Handshake blog. I'll throw the link in the show notes. I thought it was interesting. I'm gonna give them the credit for all of this cuz they did all the work on it. But I just wanted to provide a little bit of commentary cuz we're not a workplace like employment podcast, we're a ministry podcast. So I, I would say if you're a pastor or church leader listening to this, there are two ways to kind of think about this way. Number one is think about this from the generations of people that are a part of your ministry. But way number two is think about this from the people that you employ at your church. If you want to grow younger and have younger people, younger congregation and younger staff specifically, and particularly younger staff, I want to encourage you to think about it this way. Nick Clason (11:18): So number one, generations Z is looking for compensation that affords work life balance. 70% of Gen Z survey respondents say that pay and or compensation is the most important factor again, right? Let's look back to our NBA analogy. Kawhi Leonard doesn't wanna play all 82 regular season games. He wants to play in the playoffs. No, granted, he doesn't even play in the playoffs anymore. If you're not a basketball person, you don't get that reference, but that's another conversation for another day. But the reality is Gen Z is looking for a better work-life balance. They've looked at their older millennials, gen X parents, grandparents, whoever working in the workforce, and they don't wanna work that 40 hour a week grind. If you spend any amount of time on social media or TikTok, you see people saying like, make six figures in like five hours a day of work. Nick Clason (12:09): Like that is the major hook out there because that's what people want. Is it realistic? I don't know. I think a lot of those things probably require a lot of work and at least a lot of like hustle on the front end. But the reality is they're looking for something that will help serve them to live a more full life. Not because they're lazy, not because they don't wanna work, but because they realize that it's not all about work. The other thing, the second thing is that they want clarity into career paths and internal mobility options. 71% of respondents expect to be promoted between six months to a year and a half. 64% attend career events to ensure that there are growth and development opportunities. What does this mean for a church? Well first of all, if you're employing them at a church, they wanna look around and see if there's ways to move up. Nick Clason (12:56): What do most churches do? Most churches don't have ways to move up. In fact, one of the times I left one of my jobs is I was, me and the senior pastor, we were the only two full-time pastors on staff. And I looked around and I said, there is no way that I'll ever get a chance to move up here. Like it. We have to hire like an adult discipleship pastor. We'll have to hire, um, an executive pastor. We'll have to hire, um, a college ministry, uh, pastor or associate. Like, I will not get a chance to move up until we make several other hires. And, and at the trajectory at that point, I had been working there for five years. I was like, that is not going to happen anytime soon. And the same, I would say is gonna be true of generation Z in working for your church, but also attending your church. Nick Clason (13:43): How, where can they insert themselves into leadership? If leadership is only reserved for old people, old, like of a certain ethnicity, people maybe like look around at your leadership board. What is the youngest elder that you have? The, there's a stat out there. I don't know where it's from so I can't credit it, but, um, I think it might be from like some church growth type stuff. They say that a church congregation generally is within 10 years on either side of the senior pastor's age. So if you have a 55 year old senior pastor, you are most well-positioned to reach 45 to 65 year olds. Think about that. Now, how are you gonna reach a 25 year old? Well, that's a youth pastor's job. Not really. A youth pastor's job is to help serve the kids of the 45 to 65 year olds that are being brought to the church in most cases. Nick Clason (14:37): And that's, you know, 11 to 18 year olds, not 25 year olds. Well, we'll make him be in charge of college ministry too. A that's a gigantic job. I'll tell you that as a youth pastor. But b uh, oftentimes I heard this analogy one time. Um, my, my, a friend of mine, he worked for GE and he said that GE used to be in the dishwasher business and they gave cheap, crappy dishwashers to, uh, apartment complexes. Like they struck a deal and they just, they, they served the majority of apartment complexes and they were GE dishwashers and they sucked. He said, and he said they always broke. And he said because of that, because most people would start out in their first apartment with a crappy GE dishwasher, they all had a bad taste of GE because all their dishwashers broke. And he said, is that what's going on in college ministry? Nick Clason (15:27): They get the bottom of the barrel, the lowest rung they don't often get, um, like their own minister or like paid full-time staff person or anything like that. And if they do get a paid person, it's like a very, very part-time person who's basically a glorified small group leader. Is that why young people are leaving the church in droves because they're getting the lowest wrong bottom of the barrel? And why do they get that? Probably because they're the least, uh, generous in contributions in giving. And so, I hate to say this, but if churches are looking like an ROI thing, like the lowest ROI from like financial gifts is coming from the young adult ministry. That being said, they're the future of your church. So if you don't find a way to invest in them, they're not gonna be there in the years to come when the 45 to 65 to 75 to 85 year olds are no longer living in your church and, and giving in your church. Nick Clason (16:18): So how are you gonna reach and help pro promote and provide inroads for that generation to promote up into leadership? The third thing is they're looking for a modernized approach to benefits with an emphasis on flexibility and mental health. This goes with what we've been talking about a little bit before. 73% of survey respondents said that benefits is the number one reason why they would stick with an employer. Healthcare is the most important benefit of that. Um, according to 76% of the respondents and 73% said that they are looking for a flexible schedule. I would say that that flexible schedule piece, that's where this hybrid idea comes from, right? Like one of the main things about this hybrid kind of ministry in-person and digital is flexibility. Can we provide flexibility in how people can grow in their faith? Number four, they're looking for community culture and collaboration, even in remote settings. Nick Clason (17:15): Strong peer relationship. 63% say, um, feeling a part of the organization and 57% are key early reasons why early talent would choose to stay with an employer. Does your, does your church offer younger generations? Community culture and collaboration? If you're set up, like most churches, you offer a program, Hey, we got the young adult college ministry, it meets on Sunday morning during the second service. So that there it is, right? And does that community actually act like a community? Those are the questions I think that we as church leaders should be asking ourselves. Number five, um, committing publicly to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. 55% of respondents say that a commitment to D E I B um, is extremely important when evaluating an employer. They're looking for diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. That's really valuable to Generation Z. So again, I'll say, look at your board. Nick Clason (18:20): Go to your staff page. Is there diversity, diversity? Is there equity? Is there inclusion? Is their belonging shown there? If not, they're going to be looking for a church staff or church leadership that embraces those values. And then finally, number six, accountability. Actually, lemme go back before I say that. Uh, I had a, uh, an intern a couple years ago at church and diversity was really important to him. And we tried really, really hard to hire this kid. He was a, he was a stud man, he was a rockstar. And, um, he his like number one or number two, knock on knock, wanting to come to our church. Uh, one, he was from la we were in Chicago. So like, that was a big one. But the number one a or maybe even more than that, but he wouldn't say it or I mean, he, he was honest with us. Nick Clason (19:09): But, uh, the other thing he was like, just basically saying was like, there is no diversity here. Um, and he was like, and I don't mean diversity with door greeters and people on the platform, I mean diversity in leadership. And I mean, it was a profound statement and one that honestly, I don't even know that that trickled up to upper level leadership. Like I don't know if that, that that phrase ever got there, but the reality of it is like, that's what he was looking for and he didn't see it and he didn't see a path forward to it. And we lost out on an amazing, talented, you know, kid. So that's just another example. All right, number six, accountability on the environment, sustainability and social responsibility. 70% of generations, these survey respondents, they attend career events to ensure the role and responsibilities aligned with their interests and values. Nick Clason (20:01): 51% attend to ensure that the company aligns with their interests and values. So these are the things that matter to them and these are the things that they're looking for, yes, in workplaces. So if they wanna work at your church, but also in organizations that they're gonna choose to attach themselves to. So with that being said, I have three kind of takeaways, three learnings I think that are important for us as a church to understand and to explore. Let's dive in. Learning. Number one, 51% of generations, these say that their ultimate goal in life is happiness. Now, before you're like, that's not what a Christian's goal should be, I agree with you. Uh, I agree that a Christian's goal should be love and joy and peace, patience, and the fruits of the spirit. But if our target audience is saying that over half of them are looking for happiness, how are we going to help facilitate some of that for them? Nick Clason (20:55): Listen to some of these things too. A lot of this is, uh, from survey from Barna, um, of people, generation Z and some of their coping mechanisms. Okay? So just think about this in light of your church, and I'm not, I'm not giving commentary or creating like a, a roadmap or a like thing that you should do as a result of this. This is more just interesting coping mechanisms, the way that Generation Z is choosing to spend their time. So, um, the most common coping mechanisms are connected with non-family members at 45% connected with family 20%, and with music at 18%. So here are some of their quotes, TikTok, they're people feeling the same way as me, the ma, and that makes me feel less lonely. Um, another one, I will disappear into a world of my own, whether one I make myself or one that has already been created already, like books, shows or games doing one of my hobbies such as writing or violin, a good beat and a song I find solace in social media. Nick Clason (22:01): I like to be alone sometimes because it's peaceful and it's zen to me. I like to have conversations with the important people in my life by opening up to them, I receive positive affirmation, validation that I am not alone. I like to do comforting activities, reading fantasy books. I like to imagine myself as the main character because they're usually the ones with the perfect life. Sitting down to a single player game with a good story, looking in the mirror and saying, affirmations, getting on my bike and going for a ride. I like to send memes to my friends and then we will discuss them sleeping until the loneliness goes away. I watch videos of concerts on my phones playing with my many pets. They are my world. Those are some of the most common coping mechanisms out of generation Z. And I just wonder if we read those as older church leaders and think those sound ridiculous, maybe. But how are we showing up in some of these ways for our younger attenders that we're looking to reach and have be a part of our church? Nick Clason (23:13): Uh, idea number two that I think we as church should be, uh, at least aware of is honesty is one of the most important things as it pertains to generation Z, especially teenagers, but generation Z as a whole. I mean, we saw that right in that handshake art they want not only good pay, but they want transparency in pay. Like that is what's most important. So in a recent Barna study, um, these five categories we're given to, to Gen Z and to teenagers about what's important, what what, um, traits are important as it pertains to belief. And those were being correct, being knowledgeable, being open to new ideas, being curious, and being honest. The number one far and away, um, area that was most important was being honest. So we have, uh, broken down different categories, all of Gen Z teenagers and young adults. So I'm gonna read to you the, the statistics of each of those from those three categories. Nick Clason (24:19): So in being correct, only 8% of all of Gen Z cared about it. 6% of teens cared about it, and 9% of young adults cared about it being knowledgeable. 21% of the entire scope of Gen Z cared about it. 16% of teens cared about it, and 24% of young adults cared about it being open to new ideas. 28% of Gen Z cared about it. 29% of teenagers cared about it, and 28% of young adults cared about it being curious. 11% of Gen Z cared about it. 7% of teenagers cared about it, and 13% of young adults cared about it. But being honest, 32% of Gen Z cared about it. 41% of teenagers cared about it, and 25% of young adults cared about being honest. Honesty with one's belief is of utmost importance to Gen Z and specifically and especially to teenagers. So how can we create an environment in our organizations, in our churches that are more open and more honest? Nick Clason (25:14): The final area that I think that matters for churches is that churches, uh, or, um, gen Z young adults, they care about justice, they care about equality, they care about diversity. So some of the top ways that churches can address injustice, this is what, um, justice motivated, justice oriented and justice neutral generation Z um, categorizes said, all right, so they said that, uh, encouraging people to address injustice, 31% of justice motivated 28% of justice oriented and 18% of justice neutral said that the number one way that people could, um, address this was to simply walk into it, right? Go towards the injustice, the top ways that the church can do it. Other, other, like options that were given to them in the survey were by advocating for meaningful change, by welcoming people into a local church, by creating relationships with people who are experiencing injustice. Nick Clason (26:17): And by teaching that the Bible encourages special kindness to people who are experiencing injustice. So again, of those last four, the one that was most highly selected was simply by addressing it. So church leaders, church social media people, youth pastors, whoever's listening to this, the generation that's not a part of your church is mostly looking for you to address areas of injustice. I know that it's a difficult area to wade into. I know that it's polarizing. I know that it can get political and you can tick off some of the 65 year old members who sit all day and watch, um, news media and they'll tell you that this is an agenda from the left or an agenda from the right. But the reality is this is what's important to our younger congregate congregants and congregation members. So what are we gonna do? How are we gonna reach them and honesty and openness and justice motivation and helping them experience, um, what they would view as happiness. Nick Clason (27:26): Like these are the things that they are looking for. How can we as a church lean into this and help create the types of environments that these types of people go to? Because if we're not careful, we're gonna become like Tom Tido, head coach of the New York Knicks, who's outta touch, who no one wants to play for, and no one wants to go be a part of the team. Like literally the majority of the NBA players don't want to go play for him. Is that the way that younger generations, young adults and Gen Z is looking at your church and your church right now? I'm just gonna be honest, your church can get away with keeping on doing things the way that they've always been done because the majority of the people that you off or a pastor, uh, senior pastor are gonna surround themselves with are going to be the people that say it and do it, and are okay with the way that things have always been done. Nick Clason (28:21): And that may work for you for the next five or 10 years. But what about in 10, 15, 20 years when Generation Z is no longer 1920, but they're 25 30 and they've, they haven't been in your church for the last 10 years because you haven't done anything to help reach them and they're off experiencing faith in some other community in some other way. See, here's the reality. Gen Z is not out on Jesus. They are out on institutionalized faith and religion. And I think it's because of some of these reasons. I hope you found this episode helpful. I know in a a few ways it stepped on my toes. I just wanna encourage you, don't give up, keep leaning in the, the, the next generation needs you. And if you are the only person in your church advocating for hybrid, remember that is the value of the next generation. Nick Clason (29:14): We, and you and I, we may not have all the answers and that's okay. But what we are doing is we are trying our best to figure out the best way to create flexibility, honesty, co coping mechanisms, justice-oriented content that's going to help make our church one that a younger person is at least aware of and at least excited about being a part of. Thanks so much for hanging in there. Love to have you part of this journey. Make sure you head to the, uh, uh, show notes for, uh, full transcripts of this, uh, show notes, links, resources, all that type of stuff.

We were gone for a minute.... but we're back!! Episode 10 of the "New York Sport of Mind" Podcast is here! The Giants... struggling... what else is new? Tough Week 11 loss to the Bucs comes with a player loss in Saquon Barkley (again) after aggravating his previous ankle injury. (00:00-10:24)The G-men also announce that they are parting ways with offensive coordinator Jason Garrett after a poor start to the season and only lasting less than two. The Yankees are inching closer to potentially getting some help in the off-season after losing three fairly key players in the last week in Tyler Wade, Rougned Odor and, Austin's favorite Yankee, Clint Frazier. (10:24-33-56) Now it's all a matter of figuring out what is the top priority for this off-season acquisition? Do they go with a shortstop like they've been hinting at for the last few weeks? Do they try and get some more help in the bullpen to help out Gerrit Cole? Do they try for a Matt Olsen or a back up first baseman and keep Anthony Rizzo on?  The Knicks still not doing too bad... slipped down to 4th place in the Atlantic Division... (33:57-48:02)but still producing and getting wins, and also proving that they without a doubt have the best bench in all of the NBA with the likes of Immanuel Quickly, Derek Rose, and Obi Topin being an amazing 2nd team for this squad. Since it is the holiday season, the boys also give some hot takes as to their favorite Thanksgiving dishes after their Primetime Pics and New York Minute (48:03-1:08:06).... some more questionable than others (Matt, lol).We appreciate all of you bearing with us these last couple of weeks, but we are back and better than ever and ready to continue this awesome ass show with you all! We hope you all have an amazing holiday, and can't wait to get back at it next episode. And as always remember, its a New York Sport of Mind!

IntroductionHello folks, and welcome back to Major – Stories of NCAA Scandals, the number one hotspot for the most gripping, gruesome, and groundbreaking scandals in the history of the NCAA. My name is Chris Brown and I’ll be your host, guiding you through every twist and turn these stories have to offer.For the last nine years, I’ve worked in NCAA Rules and Regulations, including four years on the NCAA staff.  If you are anything like me, you love a good sports scandal. I started Major, as a way of exploring both well-known and unknown NCAA scandals. But enough about me, let’s start the show.On today’s episode we’re covering what many call the hotbed of college sports scandal, the holy grail of rules breaking, the place where the shady stuff tends to go down….Recruitment. It’s easy to imagine why this is the case. Getting the right player, putting together the right team, it’s the foundation of a championship season. Given college sports has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry a lot is at stake. While there is an appreciation for a coaches ability to nurture young athletes and to ensure their athletes are graduating, a coaches job is dependent upon wins and losses.But how far will some coaches go? What does it take to turn on a rival? On a another player? Well listen up and listen good cause we’re taking you all the way back to the Midwest in 1988 where the chase for basketball recruit Deon Thomas pitted big ten members against one another and brought out the inner espionage of one coach: Bruce Pearl. DiscussionThe Background In the 1988 season at Chicago’s Simeon High school, one Junior basketball player was at the height of his appeal. Deon Thomas had just led his team to a Chicago Public League title and would go on to cap of his senior year with being named Illinois Mr. Basketball and staring in the McDonald’s All-American Game, alongside future superstar Shaquille O’Neil.Now if Thomas’ accolades were not enough, he was coming from an elite high school program. Simeon High School is recognized as one of the best programs for producing basketball talent, including the number one ranked player in the country Ben Wilson and NBA point guard Derek Rose. Unsurprisingly a player of this caliber catches the attention of schools across the country. However, the Big Ten, took a particular interest in Deon Thomas. Specifically, two teams, the University of Iowa and the University of Illinois went full throttle in the all-out war for Thomas’ commitment. When it was all said and done, and the dust had settled it was Jimmy Collins, the assistant coach for University of Illinois that had made the big score, except… the dust hadn’t really settled quite yet. Bruce PearlNow to understand what happens next, you have to really get to know Bruce Pearl. Pearl is originally from Boston, Massachusetts and attended Boston College, graduating in 1982. While at Boston College, Pearl served as a manager for the men’s basketball team. The time Pearl spent with the Boston College program, is considered by most the darkest time in the team’s history.In 1979, the BC men’s basketball team was implicated in a point shaving case involving former Mafia member: Henry Hill. If you don’t know what point shaving is, go back and listen to episode two. The scandal resulted in a player going to jail and embarrassment for Boston College. Now it is hard to say whether or not this would have an impact on Pearl’s moral compass but it is certainly a unique experience for a 20 year old aspiring men’s basketball coach. Following his time at Boston College, Pearl would move on with Coach Tom Davis at Stanford University. When Davis accepted the head coaching job at the University of Iowa, Pearl, one of his top recruiters, would follow him. Now depending on the side you take it was either a desperate act of self-preservation or a ruthless attack against a rival program that led University of Iowa assistant coach, Bruce Pearl to throw the University of Illinois and Deon himself right under the bus. But before we dive deeper into that infamous call it’s important to do a little review on NCAA recruitment regulations and the relationship between Pearl and Deon. As discussed in a previous episode, there are very strict regulations for how recruitment can take place between a coaching staff and an athlete. Without going too deep, the core of these regulations revolves around the very simple idea that you can’t pay prospects. One more time, you can’t pay prospects. Let’s say it all together because it keeps happening, you can’t pay prospects. It’s common that the biggest scandals in sports boil down to money and luxury to pull in a big recruit. Whether you agree with the rules or not, these are the regulations coaches agree to follow. It was an accusation of breaking said rules that allegedly put assistant coach Bruce Pearl on the defensive. Pearl had failed to sign Deon Thomas. While Thomas had verbally committed to the Hawkeyes, he ended up signing with the University of Illinois. Now something to keep in mind, when it is comes to recruitment a verbal commitment mean absolutely nothing. Athletes commit and decommit multiple times throughout the recruitment process. Until a prospect actually signs a National Letter of Intent, a school is never guaranteed that they will play for them. The RecordingPost failed recruitment, Pearl started hearing rumors that he had violated NCAA rules in his efforts to acquire Deon. On top of that, Bob Hambric, the head coach of Chicago’s Simeon high school and presumably not a fan of Pearl’s, had called the University of Iowa’s head coach to tell him that Bruce Pearl had made an improper offer to Thomas. Hambric would later go on to criticize Pearl further by saying “high school coaches in Chicago know how Iowa operates. Iowa's not going to get anybody out of here. And if you're in the Big Ten, you need Chicago.”Hambric would further criticize Pearl of inappropriately crashing a tournament trip to Amsterdam and giving Deon money while he was there. Regardless of what it was exactly that led to the incident, according to Pearl it was fear of his own reputation that led to him to hatch a plan to catch the University of Illinois in its recruitment of Thomas. The plan was simple, Pearl would call and record Thomas admitting to receiving impermissible benefits when being recruited by the University of Illinois. The recorded call began with Pearl asking if he had done anything wrong during his recruitment process, to which Thomas replied that there had been no wrongdoing on Pearl’s part. Onto the bombshell, the call then moved over to his recruitment and commitment to Illinois. Pearl asked if Thomas had been promised payment of eighty thousand dollars alongside the gifting of a new car, for his commitment to Illinois. While he would later refute it, Thomas seemed to confirm this as true, a major violation for the University of Illinois who were finishing up probation from football violations committed a few years prior. Outside of the whether or not the claims made on the tapes were valid, there was a question of legality when it came to recording the call, because the recording was made in secret. This boiled down to where Pearl was when he made the call.In Deon’s state of Illinois, it’s illegal to record a call without the consent of both parties, however in Iowa, where it was later proven Pearl was when he made the call, it is only required that one party consent to a recording before a call is made. Regardless of the legality, many inside and out of the NCAA believed Pearl’s actions to be unethical, something we’ll cover a little deeper in the aftermath. The Scandal This is where things get sticky so prepare for a whole lot of, he said she said. The release of the tapes by Pearl were apparently brought out once again by means of self-preservation. According to Pearl, NCAA investigators approached him over misconduct in the recruitment efforts of Deon Thomas and Pearl in a plea for his own innocence shared what he had recorded. Illinois claimed that this was a targeted effort to dismantle the recruit of a rival team by inviting the NCAA investigator, but a reliable NCAA informant told me that’s most likely untrue as it’s common for these investigations to occur around high profile recruits. The release of these tapes led to a strong counterattack by both Deon and his father. Deon claimed that he had only made the statements about the Illini’s recruiting violations get Pearl of off the phone. He would then later go on to claim it was Pearl himself that had offered the eighty thousand dollars and car, something that Pearl simply denied, stating “it was an effort to discredit the witness”. On top of all that, Deon’s father went on to claim that Pearl had offered to move Deon’s mother to Iowa as part of the deal and had threatened false accusations against his son if he didn’t commit to Iowa. While it is hard to know whether or not any of these accusations are true, one thing remained certain, if Illinois was found guilty of a major violation such as this one it would mean a strong possibility of an NCAA death penalty, being shut down for at least a year, and the firing of Illinois assistant coach Jimmy Collins.  The Verdict After passing a lie detector test, in which Deon stated clearly that he had not been offered the money or car by Illinois, the NCAA found Illinois not guilty of the violation, stating the evidence provided was not credible or compelling enough to warrant penalty. However, in a strange twist to the story, the NCAA investigation did uncover several other violations made by the Illinois coaches. Among these was Illinois’ third major violation in a six year span, giving the NCAA cause and reason to charge them with “lack of institutional control” resulting in several recruitment violations and a one year ban on post season play. While things could have been much worse for the University of Illinois, it left a sour taste in the mouths of many Illini fans.The AftermathWhile the penalties we’re powerful, the real aftermath of this scandal was the lasting affect on relationships and reputations. Deon Thomas went on to be the all time leading scorer for University of Illinois and the overall 28th selection in the 1994 draft by the Dallas Mavericks. Although this is true, Deon never actually played a single game in the NBA, rather he went on to play in an Israeli league, a country strongly tied to his nationality. Once there he continued to reject offers for the NBA and go on to become one of the most successful all time American pro’s in a European league. While for most, this would have ended their coaching career, Bruce Pearl actually landed another job. After coach at the University of Southern Indiana, Pearl would land the head coaching job at the University of Wisconsin Milawkee where he would face an old foe: Jimmy Collins.During their four -ear span coaching for opposing teams in the horizon league, neither Pearl nor Collins ever gave the other a post-game handshake. Deon when later asked whether he had forgiven Pearl for the recording went on to state, “it was hard to forgive a snake”. And many among the industry blackballed Pearl from ever becoming part of their coaching staff. College Basketball Analyst Dick Vitale went as far as to call Pearl’s actions “completely unethical” and compared it to “committing career suicide”. However, as you will learn in next week’s episode, this wasn’t the last time Bruce Pearl would be involved in a major violation.  ConclusionFor better or for worse, this week is another example of the whistle getting blown on and off the court. Was Pearl wrong in his actions? Did he act in self-interest? Will there ever be a level playing field in an industry with so much money involved? We’ll leave that for you to decide. In the meantime, We at Major - stories of NCAA Scandals hope you enjoyed part 1 of Bruce Pearl. Join us next week when we explore how a BBQ landed Pearl in hot water. If you want to keep it going, give us a follow on our social media at brown_athletics on twitter or @major podcast on Instagram. Thank you everyone for tuning in, again I’m your host Chris Brown wishing you a good day and life free of scandal! Sourceshttps://vault.si.com/vault/1990/02/19/tale-of-the-tape https://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2019/4/4/18295241/bruce-pearl-final-four-timeline-infractions-auburn-lowa-deon-thomas-wire-milwaukee-violations https://www.rockmnation.com/2017/3/20/14949360/cuonzo-martin-missouri-purdue-illinois-deon-thomas-bruce-pearl https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=5714649 https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=6243862 https://www.al.com/auburnbasketball/2019/10/bruce-pearl-not-worried-about-potential-ncaa-notice-of-allegations-confident-in-auburns-process.html https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=5575856 https://247sports.com/college/tennessee/Article/Documents-describe-interviews-that-sank-Bruce-Pearl-at-Tennessee-32452/

Max and Panther talk about the NBA trades and it's possible implications.  The Degens then make their plays in the NBA and Max gives us his NHL plays.    Excerpts from Max's Note:  NBA Hawks at Celtics There’s a slew of injuries to look out for in this one. Kemba, Jaylen Brown, and Hayward are questionable and Marcus Smart is probable. For the Hawks, they have a bunch of injuries including newly acquired Clint Capela. Boston has won 5 in a row and are 21-5 at home. I’ve bet on them a lot lately and all good things must come to an end. But not tonight. I’m betting Boston. Mavs at Wizards Already without Luka, the Mavs now have to wait and see if Porzingis will play today. He suffered a broken nose the other night in their loss to Memphis. It was another home loss for the Mavs but tonight’s game is on the road - where they are 17-7 straight up and 17-5-2 ATS. The Bullets have just 17 wins on the season but 11 of those are at home. The line is indicative of Porzingis’ availability and it’s just too much uncertainty for me. I’ll lean the Bullets here. Grizzlies at 76ers The Sixers played last night. On the road. And lost. But now they return home where they are 22-2 straight up. That drops to 13-10-1 ATS and they face a Grizzlies team that has won 4 of 5 and are a decent road team lately. The line is spot on here but I’ll take the fresher team getting points. Sixers win but don’t cover. I’ll bet the Grizzlies. Pistons at Thunder The Pistons traded Andre Drummond for a bag of magical beans. Now they face an OKC team that stood pat at the deadline and is ready for a playoff push. Not only do the Pistons not have Drummond, their leading scorer Derek Rose is out with an injury. Detroit has won 2 of 3 but are 3-7 in their last 10. OKC has won 3 in a row and are a decent 16-10 straight up and 14-12 ATS at home. I have this as a 12 point game but it’s a tad too much for me to want to bet. I’ll lean OKC. Raptors at Pacers The Raptors have won 12 in a row and the Pacers have lost 3. What do they have in common? The last game in their current streaks were against each other on Wednesday night. Now they head to Indiana where the Pacers hope to get the better of Toronto after that narrow loss. Despite the loss, they did actually cover that one and looking at tonight’s game, the line is pretty accurate but it’s tempting to take Indy at home getting a point. Yeah, I’ll do it. I’ll bet the Pacers. Rockets at Suns The small-ball Rockets got it done in LA last night now they head over the Phoenix to play the Suns. They will do so without D’Angelo Russell Wilson Westbrook as he sits out the back to back to manage his load. Houston has won 4 in a row and the Suns have lost 4. Heat at Kings Miami lost on the road in LA on Wednesday, dropping them to 12-13 on the road. They continue their road trip in Sacramento tonight and will do so without Jimmy Butler - who is doubtful for today’s game - and Andre Iguodala - who will make his season debut on Monday. The Kings made some moves but nothing too drastic. It’s been a rough and disappointing season for Sacramento but they are coming off a win and are well rested. The Heat have been able to win without Butler but on the road against a talented team like the Kings. Trail Blazers at Jazz That gimme on Wednesday against a depleted Denver team? Nope. Utah mucked that one up too. And now they take a 5 game losing streak into tonight’s game against Portland. The Blazers bounced back last night and secured a win against the Spurs. Led by Damian Lillard’s 26, the Blazers had 6 players score double digits. Portland is only 10-17 on the road this year and the line is pretty spot on. NHL Ducks at Maple Leafs Toronto is on a 2 game losing streak and is 4-4-2 over their last 10. They are a good home team at 13-7-7 and face a Ducks team that is pretty dreadful on the road. The Leafs still have questions at goalie as Frederik Anderson is doubtful for today’s game. The Leafs did acquire Jack Campbell to be their top backup. After toiling away with the Kings, Campbell might do better on a more talented Leafs team. Still, without Anderson, that could give some value to the Ducks here. Sabres at Rangers The Sabres lost in a shootout to the Red Wings last night and now head down to Manhattan to play the Rangers. The Rangers are coming off that good win over the Maple Leafs on Wednesday that improved them to 15-11-2 at MSG. The Rangers might have found a solution behind the net with Igor Shesterkin as he is 4-1 so far in his starts. This one is getting a tad chalky for me and in theory is at the limits of my chalk threshold. Red Wings at Blue Jackets The Red Wings got their win last night and now I’m happy. They head to Columbus today to play the red hot Blue Jackets. They are 8-1-1 in their last 10 and are 17-9-2 at home. Wild at Stars Minnesota got the win last night but now head to Dallas to face a Stars team that is 16-8-2 at home. The Wild are a solid home team but absolutely horrible on the road.

Max is on fire in the NBA! He told us he's probably off betting the Celtics. Is he a man of his word?  The Degens make their plays in the NBA today and then Max looks at both NHL games today.  Excerpts from Max's Notes:  NBA Magic at Celtics The Celtics have won 4 in a row and continue to be a solid home team - posting a 20-5 straight up and 15-9-1 ATS record at the Garden. The Magic are coming off a win on Monday over the Hornets that broke a losing streak. That streak included a home loss against the Celtics a week and a half ago in which Boston beat them by double digits. Boston is dealing with a myriad of injuries. Kemba and Smart are listed as questionable and Hayward and Kanter are listed as probable. Suns at Pistons Both teams are coming off blowout losses on Monday. For Phoenix, it was their third straight loss. This is also their sixth road game over their last seven games. Detroit is not a juggernaut at home with their 10-17 record. And to make matters worse, their leading scorer Derek Rose will miss tonight’s game. Phoenix should win this game and should cover - but I don’t trust them completely. Pacers at Raptors The Pacers have lost 3 of 4 and their lone win was an OT win over an underperforming Bulls team. The Raptors meanwhile have won 11 straight games and are looking like a serious threat in the East. They probably want to make a deadline trade and they have some expiring contracts available - but it’s hard to imagine them moving Gasol or VanFleet. So maybe they go with what they have. The Pacers are in a similar boat and perhaps Oladipo will be considered their mid season pickup. He needs to continue to get healthy and worked into this offense. The Raptors are 18-7 straight up and 15-9 ATS at home. Warriors at Nets Both teams are dealing with some trade rumors. For the Nets, I think it’s unlikely they move Dinwiddie after they signed him last season and he’s had to continually step up with Kyrie missing so much time. For the Warriors, they could move D’Angelo Russell if the price is right. It hasn’t been right so far from Minnesota who really covets him. Both teams are coming off wins on Monday - the second straight for Golden State. They have won 3 straight games only once this season. This also marks their 5th straight road game. Overall they are 5-22 on the road this season. Cavs at Thunder The Cavs have lost 4 in a row and Kevin Love’s days might be numbered in Cleveland. The trouble is his contract and teams not willing to give up a lot to take on that salary. The Cavs have to face that uncertainty as they head to OKC to battle a Thunder team that many thought would be sellers at the trade deadline. It was expected that Steven Adams and Chris Paul would be our the door but now it seems like the Thunder are willing to make a solid playoff run and face those trade questions in the offseason. OKC has won 4 of 5 and are 15-10 at home this season. Hawks at Timberwolves Both of these teams were just involved in the same trade. The Hawks got Clint Capela and the T-Wolves dealt one of the assets they got last season in their Jimmy Butler trade in hopes of securing draft picks to entice the Warriors to trade D-Lo to them. There’s still another day to figure that all out and until then, they play with the guys on the court. Both teams have 2 good and young players but can’t seem to play winning basketball. Minnesota is on a 12 game losing streak and due to injuries and other losing streaks, Karl Anthony Towns has not won a basketball game since Thanksgiving. He has a good shot to break that streak against a Hawks team that has lost two in a row, have a banged up superstar in Trae Young and are also a dreadful 5-21 on the road. Grizzlies at Mavs No Luka, no problem. The Mavs have won 2 in a row. They beat the Pacers on Monday powered by Porzingis’ 38/12 game. Dallas plays host to a Grizzlies team that has won 4 of 5. Ja Morant has been the catalyst for this team but it’s truly been a team effort to push them into the playoff picture. Dallas has not been a dominant team at home this year. They are 14-12 straight up and 10-15-1 ATS. The Grizzlies do have a winning road record ATS. Nuggets at Jazz This should be an ideal chance for the Jazz to bounce back from their 4 game losing streak. Denver is already short-handed due to injuries and now they have to deal with the loss of players who got traded yesterday. That will give this typically deep Denver team a lot less depth tonight. They head to Utah where the Jazz are 18-4 straight up and 12-9-1 ATS. Utah returns home after 3 road games and is a heavy favorite here. Heat at Clippers These teams have very similar records. The difference is that 12 of the Heat’s 15 losses have been on the road this season. And they head to LA where the Clippers are 21-5. Despite all that, I think the line is a bit too high for the Clippers. They aren’t great at covering spreads and while they should step up against a playoff bound team like Miami, I am just not seeing where they cover this one. NHL Maple Leafs at Rangers Both teams are coming off 5-3 losses on Monday and both teams have question marks at goalie. Frederik Anderson is day to day for Toronto and they will need to rely on backup goalie Michael Hutchinson. The Rangers have a hall of famer behind the net. But he’s 38 and not playing full games at this point. He’s still a pretty good goalie at his age but not dominant. The Rangers are a decent team at home but Toronto travels very well. The money seems to say Toronto should win this one. Bruins at Blackhawks The Bruins has a dominating performance at home yesterday and turn around to head to Chicago to play a Blackhawks team that has played pretty well lately. Chicago was once a bottom dweller but has fought back and is 3 points out of a wild card in the West. Boston is 13-3-3 against Western Conference teams and they should win this one. The line is not that terrible for them but I’m not certain here.   The site:  https://absolutedegeneracy.com/ NHL projections, NBA projections, our "Degen Score" that we use in the Mutual Fund betting, Max's write-ups and more over on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/absolutedegeneracy The Discord Chat: https://discord.gg/rFC3vEa Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/bettingabsolute Facebookers: https://www.facebook.com/sportsbettingdegeneracy/
