A freshmam basketball player is more likely to stay in college for four years than the typical basketball player at Duke. The reason behind it is that a freshman player would have to devote less of his time to basketball than the person who has an expertise over it. Moreover, as playing basketball is the thing which he is an experience at he would grab on every opportunity to be the best at it and this can even help him earn money through it. Whereas a freshman will require more time to really learn the game, but he would know that this is not the only option he has and thus he would be more likely to be intersinte in coping with his studies to get a better job.

Your life as a college basketball coach used to be fairly easy, since it was based on just one principle—get the most talented players. A few months every year, you and your army of assistants and scouts would comb the country, looking high and low for the best players, and convincing them that your program was where they belonged. And even if recruiting didn’t go your way one year, you could expect that the players you did get would be...
