re: So why are Calipari's teams clean now?

Yes, he did. Calipari used the standard "I had no idea what on earth what was happening" defense. Which worked twice and is why he keeps getting promoted to better jobs. But he's been the coach at two major schools, and both wre put on major probation as Cal left for a better gig.

Gee, he probably has no idea what's going on off the court at Kentucky right now. It's his program, he's responsible. Especially when there is now an established pattern of corruption.

but it's always someone else's fault. Becuase Calipari is all about not having to take responsibility. And his team of enablers (that would be you) will happily look the other way so long as the wins come and before the NCAA shows up.

This gonna get good!!

Not really. This thread happens twice a week. It's nothing new.

Busey, you want to hold Roy's cock in your mouth you can't stand it. Every question about Call being dirty, you try and deflect towards Roy. Roy didn't have two final four appearances vacated ... that's a damn fact. Deal with it.

We don't have to, because I'll be a nice guy and tell you: They didn't like him.

Is that what you wanted to hear?

FWIW, LSU fans mostly say "frick Roy Williams" because of his participation in the whole Lester Earl bullshite.

I definitely want RW to be fricked by the long dick of the NCAA, no doubt.

Maybe if UT would sell their soul to the devil they can be relevant in something again.

Yeah, because we recruited a guy improperly, never let him play a down, fired the coach who recruited him, and self-reported the violations and imposed penalties ourselves, actually getting plaudits from the NCAA Infractions Committee for our compliance department's activities.

Same friggin' thing as passing the buck at every stop. This isn't a kentucky thing (though UK does have a long proud history of running afoul of the NCAA -- Eddie Sutton ring any bells?), it's a Calipari thing. I don't care one way or the other about UK basketball, but the fact Cal keeps coaching at places that then magically get put on probation through absolutely no fault of his own in any way, shape, or form, and it would be crazy to suggest so and then parlays it into a BETTER gig is frankly disgusting.

He's a parasite. I wouldn't want him within 100 miles of my school if I were an AD. I think he's perhaps the most corrupt coach in the past 20 years (though yeah, Calhoun and Williams could give him a run). Sure, he wins. But at what cost? At what point is the winning not worth it? Especially when it's likely to get scrubbed from the official record book (like two of his three previous trips to the Final Four).

I find the man repulsive.

I don't disagree with any of your points, but what about this guy



And as for the Rose SAT, it has Cal's paws all over it. A guy with no ties to Detroit ends up taking the SAT in the hometown of Cal's biggest runner and miraculously ends up qualifying after failing to reach the minimum three times in Chicago.

Cal, like every other good coach in D-1 is a micro-manager. He knows what everyone is doing, as does Izzo, Pitino, K, Calhoun, Roy, Saban, Les, Spurrier, and anyone else who is worth a shite in college sports. "I didn't know" might be a plausible excuse for an 85-year old figure head like Bobby Bowden (notice I am going nowhere near Paterno) or a dumbass like Sidney Lowe but not for an intelligent and organized man like Calipari.

I do agree with the UK fans about the Camby issue though, at least based on the publicly available info since that agent doesn't appear to have any ties to Calipari or anyone else in the UMass program. I don't see what Cal would have gotten out of it, and in that sense, it's different than the UConn stuff from a couple of years ago.
