I don't give a fukk about Bo Ryan either way, but when he was talking about "rent a players", he wasn't referring to one and dones, he was referring to 5th year seniors who transfer to another school and are allowed to play right away without sitting out. The quote came out when he was talking about his own seniors, seems like the public and sports media themselves took his quote out of context and twisted up what he was saying.

This is his FULL quote, with the question attached. He was asked about his Seniors. He's talking about his Seniors. He doesn't mention Duke, and when he says "rent a player" he's talking about 5th year grad transfers, in the context of his seniors.
Q. Frank said it's just going to be hard to say good-bye. Can you talk about, is it going to be hard for you to say good-bye to this class of seniors?
COACH RYAN: Oh, without a doubt. All the seniors that I've had -- hard to say the word. But every player that's played through the program, okay, we don't do a rent-a-player. You know what I mean? Try to take a fifth-year guy. That's okay. If other people do that, that's okay. I like trying to build from within. It's just the way I am. And to see these guys grow over the years and to be here last year and lose a tough game, boom, they came back. They said what they wanted to do, they put themselves into that position, and they won't forget this for a long time. I told them that's life. Wait till you get a job. Wait till you start the next 60 or 70 years of your life. It's not always going to work out the way you would like it to. But you measure a person by what it takes to discourage them.
