Maloney's playoff series vs. the Sonics was a lot more high profile than what Lin is doing now.
That was in my basketball sweet spot, and I have to disagree.
At the end of the day - the world is different now. Social media/blogs/etc are crafting narratives that have a much broader audience.
We now have more recruiting info than we ever have and those recruits have more exposure to how schools and leagues are perceived than ever.
This starts with the players and those players can now be deluged with narratives that never would have made it to them in the past. Everything is amplified now. Everyone who has said that Amaker would only do something for Harvard has had to face the reality that these last two years have been the strongest leagues top-to-bottom since the 1970s.
Our league is getting publicity that it rarely got in the past more frequently than it ever has. It's just a different age. The tide is rising. And it's carrying all boats.
(Except Dartmouth's).
