Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Another Hall of Famer joins the college ranks, and we’re not surprised. After all, we’ve seen Curry and Young make the same move.
Wall’s role is packed with responsibilities, from team meetings to recruiting and mentoring. No wonder he’s already getting involved.
Howard’s program has been on the rise, and Wall’s addition should only help.
This is a moment where fans recognize the pattern – a former star athlete taking on a front-office role in their alma mater.
Original Observation: This move is a sign that the line between college and pro basketball is getting blurrier by the day.
