Coach Dick Bennet on recruiting

    "I do not want the players to get the wrong idea of who I am and how I coach. That is not my style." He shook his head slowly from side to side. "I just don't know how to do it without compromising my own personal standards. I can't sacrifice integrity for talent."

    "Whose integrity?" I inquired.

    Bennett seemed taken back by the question. He sat back in his chair and stared directly at me with furrowed brow. "Both, I suppose, mine and the recruit's I don't believe in recruiting as it is today, so if I buy into that style, I sacrifice my integrity."
