That was awesome. :clap

Suck it Calipari!

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

let out a pretty hefty yell when that went through... awesome

 

[AdaSooner]

I cheered, too! Couldn't have happened to a better coach than Slick John and his merry band...well, not so merry after that loss. :ez-laugh:

 

[DenverSooner]

I have zero evidence but I am virtually positive Calipari cheats to recruit the way he does. I will not be surprised if he gets caught paying players.

Zero evidence but are virtually positive?

 

[DenverSooner]

Yes. I am virtually positive he is a slim ball that cheats. Both of his prior final four teams were built with rules violations. The man took his incoming class to another school. My father in law used to say if you hang out with $h!t you will get $h!t on you.

I don't usually correct spelling errors, but a slim ball just isn't the same as a SLIME BALL!

tom crean is a great coach/recruiter ... IU is back in a big way and will be all the way back next season ..

Meh, I don't think so. I think he got super luck with the 1st class, and then after sending 5 kids in the 1st round of one draft he was made in the shade. I just don't think you could get away with it in this day and age. With everything everyone ever says going up on Twitter and facebook, something would slip if they were paying mulitple kids. I just think he has a reputation of preparing kids for the draft and basically letting them do what they want in the one year that they were at Kentucky.

This is why people are suspicious of Calipari:

John Calipari (born February 10, 1959) is an American basketball coach. Since April 2009, he has been the men's head coach at the University of Kentucky.

Calipari is the former head coach of the University of Memphis, the University of Massachusetts and the NBA's New Jersey Nets. He is one of only two coaches to direct three different colleges to a number one seed in the NCAA Tournament, though two of those seasons have been officially vacated by the NCAA. Calipari is the only head coach to have a Final Four appearance vacated at more than one school, though Calipari himself was not personally indicted by the NCAA while coaching UMass or Memphis.[1] Calipari has taken one school officially to the Final Four, that being Kentucky in 2011.

Is he the only coach to have to seasons as a number one seed vacated by the NCAA too?

I'm well aware of his past. I think he's established himself as the premier NBA prep school, and that helps him attract a lot of kids who view college as a 1 year pit stop before the NBA, and don't want to deal with a hardass like Coach K or Roy Williams, who may not even play them that much.

 

[TheGimper]

Not to mention Memphis committed academic fraud under his tenure though. No big deal, just academic fraud.

 

[sanguinetti]

i've always liked Crean, never liked Calipari. would love to see a game at Assembly Hall someday.

You do know why the seasons were vacated, right? His staff/program was cleared of any wrong doing with Camby's interaction with the booster and Rose's SAT score.

 

[TheGimper]

Yes, Calipari was completely in the dark both times. Please.

 

[MercedeSooner]

Anybody who doesn't think Cal is as shady and dirty as it gets has their head in the sand. Oh well he continues to bring kids in and he'll continue to win until he gets in trouble... again.

 

[BoulderSooner]

coach cal .. finds the grey area ... and lives there ..

Coach Cal IS the grey area.
