Kyle "your man crush" Young hasn't played the last few games. But the end of Thad and beginning of Holtman are slim. Hell they are in the championship game with this roster.

Carmen's Crew Wins The Basketball Tournament, $1 Million Prize With 69-65 Victory Over Forever Coogs

Carmen's Crew Wins The Basketball Tournament, $1 Million Prize With 69-65 Victory Over Forever Coogs
Four different players hit double-figures scoring for Carmen's Crew in Sullinger, Desonta Bradford, Kaleb Wesson and Andre Wesson. Sullinger, who was named the MVP of this year’s TBT, led the way with 18 points while Kaleb Wesson scored 15, Andre Wesson scored 13 and Bradford, an East Tennessee State alumnus, scored 11.
It's the second TBT Championship for the Ohio State alumni squad, which won with an entirely different roster in 2019. Carmen’s Crew becomes the second TBT team to win multiple titles, joining Overseas Elite, which won four straight championships from 2015-18.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
This may not go anywhere; but FWIW a college team (i.e. Green Bay, aka University of Wisconsin–Green Bay) wants to play in the TBT:
www.espn.com
The waiver request, which was filed last week, acknowledges TBT is not certified by the NCAA or fall within legislated exceptions but makes the case it is a suitable replacement for a foreign tour, which permits college programs to travel abroad to play against professional teams once every four years.
"When you play overseas, these teams that go to France, Spain, Belgium, whatever, those aren't NCAA-sanctioned games," Green Bay coach Doug Gottlieb said. "So the NCAA's argument is, 'Hey, in summer competition, you can't play these games in the United States. They're not NCAA-sanctioned.' So if I played this exact same game three hours north of here in Canada, it'd be OK. It doesn't make sense."
There is also the cost aspect. For a school like Green Bay -- especially as college athletics braces for the House settlement to be finalized -- a foreign trip can be cost-prohibitive. By participating in an event like TBT, Green Bay's waiver request made the case that it would be providing its athletes a similar experience within its means.
"Let's not worry about the prize money right now, but that could go to a charity, just let us play," Green Bay athletic director Josh Moon said. "It's really about our team and trying to give them opportunities."
The original premise of the rule that allows programs to take a foreign trip once every four years was that it gives every athlete a chance to make one such trip while in school. However, with all the movement in college sports in the wake of eased transfer restrictions, Moon said it's outdated.
"You're working in an environment that is still largely built on rules from 10, 15 years ago," he said. "There's still massive amounts of legislation that doesn't make any sense -- that hasn't been adjusted in 20 years or 30 years or who knows how long."
Green Bay's waiver request has support from Horizon League commissioner Julie Roe Lach and the organizers of TBT.

Green Bay files waiver to play in The Basketball Tournament
Green Bay has filed for a waiver from the NCAA to allow its men's basketball team to compete in The Basketball Tournament, the $1 million, winner-take-all summer tournament that features many high-profile college alumni teams and active professional players.The waiver request, which was filed last week, acknowledges TBT is not certified by the NCAA or fall within legislated exceptions but makes the case it is a suitable replacement for a foreign tour, which permits college programs to travel abroad to play against professional teams once every four years.

Too soon old, too late smart
Yuk! Yuk! UW-GB would field a team of Division I wannabes. Most of these other teams field all-stars. Am guessing 5-10 years older than UWGB? Not entirely certain that their 'experience' would be a good one....But, assuming that they win (!), this pay-for-play experience wouldn't be any different than NIL, or the soon to be paid players, now would it?

So a Columbus summer league type of set-up with a $1 million initiative that goes to charity. Why not do a non-NCAA type tourney in the summer for players that most likely won't make it to the league? Another bracket (grift) system for players...
