I’m excited about Rhoades, PS/Kraft might just hit a homerun here
Meech (Jazz), Booth (Sonics), and JC3 (Lakers & Suns) were all on NBA rosters off and on during the 2001-2002 season.

I don't think the coaches have anything to do with it. The TBT (The Basketball Tournament) is a summer tournament for former college players. I think this is the first time that a team of PSU alums has organized and participated in TBT. This team is called Happy Valley Hoopers. It seems that John Harrar is the main organizer for this year's team. If your former college doesn't have a team, I believe you're a free agent, and can participate on another team. Harrar was on the Purdue alumni team last year, and reportedly that experience motivated him to organize a PSU team.
I haven't focused too much on the Happy Valley Hoopers and TBT, so I can't vouch for every aspect of the above being correct. It's what I remember from various articles I skimmed through at the time it was announced that there would be a PSU alumni team in the 2023 TBT.
Watched 1st half on YouTube. It was ugly. Bahamas was horrible. PSU threw the ball all over the place. Not much discipline and horrible shooting (3-21 from 3pt range) but PSU's speed allowed them to drive past defenders and get to the hoop at will.
Everybody played. 10 players scored in the 1st half led by Clary with 7.

Hoops have had the names on the unis off and on over the years. However, the whole 'no names' is just overhyped b.s. that has risen to the level of cultish propaganda.
You are probably correct in as much as "College" no longer applies with respect to football and basketball.
I can see it now. “College” football player:
“I want my name on the back of my jersey as part of my NIL promotion. Oh, and I want to be compensated for the university using my name on my jersey.”
