Very real. Yeah, Darlington won 2 state titles and tons of games at Morris but he alienated a bunch of people along the way.
Despicable comments by assistant who said "how can they do this to a legend" and blathered on about how many scholarships "he" got for players over the years. The players with the talent got the scholarships, not Darlington.
Cheating is cheating. Goes on alot but when you make enough enemies someone always waiting & watching to bite you in the rear.
