THAD MATTA IS NOT WELL-LIKED

Well, color me surprised, somebody thinks Thad Matta is a jerk. "Listen, if you can't get along with a kid like Kosta, then you're clueless," Greynolds said. "If you're making $2 million season and can't figure out how to use a 7-foot-1 kid, you're clueless. If you can't get along with a kid who comes early, stays late and gets good grades, you're clueless, and you've got the problem." Of all the coaches in the NCAA, I would have never thought somebody would say this about Matta. Look at the guy, he ...

When draft people began mentioning him as a top-notch NBA prospect, I'll admit: I was surprised. (Koufos was eventually drafted No. 23 by the Jazz.) If you ask Koufos' high school coach, Jack Greynolds, Jr., it's not that Kosta is a stiff (though he played one on my television last year). It's that Koufos and Thad Matta never got along, according to ...

Koufos’ HS Coach Takes Rip At OSU’s Thad Matta
Published 6/30/2008 by Signal to Noise at SPORTSbyBROOKS
