re: John Calipari takes a shot at Coach K

Y'all are missing the point of what Cal said. He said what he did to subtly point out that K forced Thornton to transfer while promising him the same "duke for life" support.

Thornton was never 'forced to transfer.' That's UK/UNC deranged message board fodder. Even Thornton's crazy uncle didn't allege that in his twitter tantrum. They are pissed that THornton reclassified to come to Duke a year early (and missed a bunch of worthless exhibition games) and wasnt the star of the show as they thought he would be, which is fair game for discussion. If K was going to force someone out, it wouldnt have been the only true point guard on his roster, he would have rescinded Jack White's scholarship offer. Try again.

Secondly both teams use one and done's, let's move past the Degree straw man argument. This is nothing more than an arms race. I think the most interesting development is that Roy Williams has been pushed aside as an elite recruiter.
