Their Own Undoing
Wonder how UCLA forward Trevor Ariza came to think it was a good idea that he declare for the NBA Draft?Considering Ariza just signed with Todd Ramasar of Life Sports Management in Los Angeles, his new agent is suspect numero uno.
Ramasar's accomplice? The UCLA administration. From the March 14, 2003 edition of the Los Angeles Times:
T.J. Cummings and Andre Patterson were gesturing and shouting to the crowd during several Bruin timeouts, but it wasn't because mom and dad were in the stands. Sitting behind the UCLA bench cheering madly were former Bruin players Rico Hines and Todd Ramasar.
In other words, UCLA gave Ramasar the access he needed to "befriend" the school's ballplayers.
