Who was Dochterman talking about?

I found this snippet from Scott Dochterman in this week’s Legends & Listeners podcast to be interesting. He was talking about McCollum as Iowa’s coach, when he said this:

“You've got a coach that doesn't complain about the portal. And doesn't complain about, you know, NIL and doesn't embellish. It doesn't sit in front of a group of people at the PCA meeting and say, it's going to cost $500,000 to retain a player.
When really, in fact, it would have been two. They had the money for it and he chose not to retain them. But he told everybody they didn't have the money for it because that's the kind of person he is.”

Who is the player Doc is referring to? Tony Perkins, maybe? I suppose he may not be referencing Fran with this comment, but that was the implication I got.

Thoughts?

Yes it was Perk.

I remember Fran saying he wasn't paying freshmen or portal players more than existing players on the team. I guess he didn't want his boys NIL going down.

Interesting. Thanks for the reply.

So what happened; Fran lied and then Ben took the high road??...

Was Tony Perkins worth $200,000 in 2024?

His playing time (31 to 23 min) and PPG (14.0 to 8.7) went down while at Missouri.

Still can't believe we are having these discussions on what a player should be paid.

Can someone smarter than me explain what it means?
