But, yes, it does suck that Coleman is leaving. It hurts continuity for the 2022-23 season, as we'll most likely have no returning frontcourt players. It just increases the need for another transfer next year.
But yeah, I am still good with the tradeoff. Because honestly who is to say Coleman would be here in 2022-23 anyway? Such is the landscape of college bball these days. Just look at UVa and their struggles with keeping top-50/75 recruits in house.
Bingo. If there is only one college basketball season left, I'd "trade" John for Coleman any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
But, college basketball has many seasons left. Coach K doesn't.
