Update on our earlier report, Cordell Henry will not be joining DPU as a Grad. Asst. due to a problem with the hire. #dpubb

Ouch - I assume back to North Park is not an option seeing he left them? I wonder what the "problem" was?

Couldn't get into a graduate program?

He is going back to North Park apparently

That seems rough.

That does not appear to be the reason, as I read the De Paul board. They say a problem with the hiring process and the NCAA did not approve of the hire. Someone then posted this link and said "connect the dots" ... http://www.fannation.com/si_blogs/ho...-up-recruiting

There appears to be more on the Premium Page, but I do not have access.

Ah...OK. There is no allegation that Henry did anything wrong, but just that he cannot get hired because of his previous AAU connections.

And while I understand the intent of this rule, I really have to question its fairness. If a head coach wants to use one of his assistant positions to hire an AAU coach, I don't see the problem with it.

As I have always understood it...you can hire anyone you want for one of the 3 staff spots you are allowed to have...with no ramifications to recruiting.

What you can't do is hire an AAU/HS coach to one of the non-staff positions (director of basketball ops, video coordinator, etc) and continue to recruit from that program.


Sounds like DePaul signed, or is currently recruiting, someone who played for an AAU team that Henry had a connection to.

OK, I appreciate the clarification.
