........................................
Tulane's head coach, Ron Hunter, spoke about how his job, and those of coaches at the same level, are viewed as the first part of lots of players' careers before they make it to the power conferences. At Peach Jam back in July, Hunter had an interesting interaction with a high-major coach that cemented this belief.
"He came over to me and he said, 'Ron, you're doing a hell of a job ... getting kids ready for our level,'" Hunter told ESPN. "And I didn't know whether to be mad or to say thank you."
Guess it's a compliment to Hunter but it also simultaneously seems like a backhanded major leagues-minor leagues one.
