As if that wasn’t shocking enough, the coach factory online outlet following night boos were sent in the direction of Williams — the popular two-time All-Star point guard — when the face of the Jazz franchise was introduced in Utah prior to tipoff.
Less than two weeks later, another surprise development occurred. Williams was shipped to New Jersey in exchange for Devin Harris , Derrick Favors , two first-round picks ( Enes Kanter being one) and a stash of cash.
Jazz brass claimed the trade was made because they weren’t sure whether Williams would stay in Utah when his max contract allowed him to search elsewhere (this summer).
“Let’s implement it properly,” California athletics director Sandy Barbour said of the $2,000 scholarship measure, which was approved by the NCAA’s Division I board of directors in October but drew enough objection to force reconsideration.
“Certainly, a delay will draw ridicule and criticism,” Barbour said. “But I believe that ridicule and criticism will be even longer and deeper-lasting if we do not get it right. … We need more time.”
School presidents and chancellors on the board meet Saturday, closing out the coach op art five-day convention.
