That's why I mentioned the interesting coincidence that UD had so many players who played for Mac Irvin Fire during the Archie era.

Sure the money would be less than the 100k Adidas/Agents paid to get Bowen to go to UL and then sign with them when he turns pro but it's still money. The agents/adidas were most likely going to funnel the money through Bowen's AAU program and then to his family. And I'm sure somewhere in that process the AAU coach was going to get a cut.

AAU/EYBL coaches don't run these programs out of the goodness of their hearts folks. They make money from them and have been doing it for years.
Of course, but that's not the federal investigation going on right now. Just pointing out the lack of connection between Archie and what Book is being charged with at Arizona.

As for Mac Irvin, it was also only KD and JC that played for him and they also played for his brother Nick at Morgan Park. KP played for MeanStreets/Simeon.
