Basketball analyst Dick Vitale is tired of all the belly aching from people who complain about the one and done rule in college basketball.
[I]I am getting fed up hearing about and reading comments about the one-and-done rule.[/I][/FONT][/COLOR]

Think about it … how many players does it really influence anyway? The bottom line is, the rule usually affects the upper-echelon players and elite teams. People seem to have a negative opinion about it, but that did not hurt John Calipari and Kentucky in its recent run to a national championship.[/I][/FONT][/COLOR]

There are critics of coaches who take an obvious one-and-done player. That is the most absurd criticism that I have ever heard. In fact, Calipari uses it to his advantage.[/I][/FONT][/COLOR]

Who in their right mind would turn down players like [/I][/FONT][/COLOR][FONT=Verdana][I]Derrick Rose, John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist? [/I][/FONT][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana][I]Give me a break. Those who knock one-and-done players have to note that Calipari is simply a better recruiter than guys he is competing with. His teams have benefited by the rule and have been in the hunt for the national title at Memphis with Rose and at Kentucky, finally culminating with this year’s championship in New Orleans.
