Spanning the Globe: Foreigners Impacting Basketball in Significant Way
An increasingly international flavor has spiced up college basketball. Overseas recruiting is growing exponentially as coaches expand the U.S. borders by tapping into foreign markets.
"Around the World" has taken on a different meaning on the basketball landscape in recent years. More than one-fifth of the NBA's players in 2004-05 were from overseas and the number continues to escalate.
Incredibly, less than half of the NCAA Division I schools had a foreign player on their roster in the mid-1990s. But at the turn of the 21st Century, it was rare for a program not to feature at least one foreigner every few seasons. In the last 10 years, an average of more than 400 foreigners annually dotted NCAA Division I rosters.
Occasionally, a school seems almost to be based overseas. For instance, foreigners playing with Valparaiso accounted for a total of 12 first- and second-team All-Mid-Continent Conference selections in a span of seven straight seasons from 1997-98 through 2003-04 (twice including a pair of first-team choices). Elsewhere, four of Nicholls State's top five scorers and five of its top eight in 2007-08 were from Australia. All five Aussie Colonels were undergraduates for the southern Louisiana university.
It's undeniable that more and more teams are looking abroad for important imports to make certain they don't have a trade deficit. Many of their competitors enjoyed a trade surplus in the aftermath of Yugoslavian import Kresimir Cosic bursting on the scene in the early 1970s. Cosic, a center for Brigham Young, became a three-time All-Western Athletic Conference first-team selection from 1970-71 through 1972-73.
The coach of one opposing team called Cosic "the looniest guy with talent ever." Sports Illustrated reported that his "zest for the game was something to behold," explaining that he was "forever clapping hands, raising fists high, laughing, shouting `Opa! Opa! (I'm open, I'm open), jackknifing for layups, dribbling through his legs, passing behind his back, and joyfully firing all manner of shots from improbable positions and angles." Although teammates claimed they were sometimes hurt by Cosic's "circus act," his crowd appeal was unprecedented.
The fast track of major-college recruiting includes a global autobahn--and its precarious, impossibly varied tributaries. The foreign legion has revolutionized the sport. It seems as if no coach today is worth his sneaker endorsement deal without a passport and several international contacts.
"Foreign-born athletes are excellent players," former LSU coach Dale Brown said. "Almost always they are better students than Americans."
An old adage claimed that fans couldn't tell the players without a roster. Over time, it has reached the point where fans can't pronounce the tongue twister names without taking a couple of Berlitz language courses. Many of the "globe trotters" who crossed the Atlantic, Pacific or Gulf of Mexico don't play tired or poor. Four foreigners were members of the WCC's 10-man all-league team in 2003-04, contributing to the total of 23 who were first- and second-team all-conference selections in Division I that season. A total of 16 different foreigners were named conference MVP in an 11-year span from 1999-2000 through 2009-10.
Former CBS analyst Billy Packer found it disturbing that U.S. citizens were getting overlooked while several hundred foreigners received athletic scholarships from American universities. But Tom Penders, who coached six different Division I colleges, said: "I find the Europeans are good academically, more mature and disciplined."
The tidal wave of foreigners frequently focused on securing players to try to fill frontcourt voids but is extending more and more also to the backcourt. Basketball simply doesn't have borders any longer. Here is a look at the most influential individuals who honed their games on American soil, but grew up outside North America:
