re: John Calipari takes a shot at Coach K

It doesn't work with "lesser" players:
K: Hey, benchwarmer, you are not going to play next year.
Player: Yeah. I know. All good.
But, it does work with highly recruited players:
K: Hey, Thornton, your minutes are going to go down next year.
Thornton: shite. That doesn't work for me. I need to get to the league. I need minutes.

P.S. To be fair, Cal did the same thing to Ryan Harrow. Harrow claims he transferred to be closer to his sick father. Not true. He had the exact conversation with Cal that Thornton had with Coach K.

More like "Hey walk on with a rich father that never planned on being a scholarship player, we need that back." Ok coach.
And the Thornton rumors have been around since December, before Duke was a major player for Bolden. But keep believing a theory that defies logic because you want it to be true.

That isn't what you were alleging to begin with, though. Obviously Thornton would have seen a reduction in minutes, and yes that likely played a role in his decision, although his dad and 'uncle' were mad from the get go that he wasnt the team's focal point on offense. That's hardly the same thing as K deliberately 'forced him out.' How does that even work? Did Thornton show up at the locker room one day and security was there waiting for him?
K could have easily rescinded Jack White's offer to make room for Bolden.

Oh, Cal forced Harrow out the door...but Harrow checked out mid season in the locker-room in Fayettenam after a loss. Harrow walked out on them and basically quit the team after having a mental breakdown.
