Agree - Knight may not win the Nobel Peace Prize, but he was never even investigated by the NCAA for rules violations. I'm not a Knight fan, but that is good to see after the number of years he was a coach.
Coach Cal is slicker than his hair.

Love that picture, I need to make it to Boulder for a game and see that stadium. I saw Col play at WVU this year on Thursday night. They couldn't stop Hawkins throwing the Out route all night.

Yeah you need to check out boulder for sure. One of top 10 places to watch a game for sure in my opinion. Not only for the backdrop, but to see ralphie run field, boulder is great college town and golden (coors brewery) is a 10 minute drive so thats worth it right there. Should try and do combo sometime when broncos host game as well. later buddy

Knight could not be more right, the NCAA needs more Bobby Knights its a shame they do not look at it like that. How Calipari is still coaching is an absolute joke and disgrace. Pizza boy we all make mistakes geez the chair throwing was 25 years ago and well the choking all allegations.... see the problem with kids today you cant tell them what to do and get into their face, they all expect something even when they lose.

Solid point Bro !! Knight always had a bad rep on the way he treated his kids ( choking is beyond coaching , I agree 110 % ) , but these kids knew he was that kind of coach before they went to his school where he coached . Knight is absolutely correct here . College basketball has to start banning these coaches that corrupt the game . Plain and Simple ..

i completely agree with Knight here. Kentucky is so desperate to win that they bring in calipari knowing this guy is a snake. They would rather win now and deal with the repercussions later. i have alot a family in Memphis and you should hear what they think of coach cal. i would imagine that Umass fans feel the same way. You would think that Kentucky, with its tradition and past success, would be able to get a stand up guy to lead that program back to the Final 4. i cant understand why they would ignore the issues with calipari...unless, like i said, they are just that desperate.

I hate Kentucky so with Calipari there that means in about 4 years Kentucky will be on probation.Love it.
At least you admit you are bias. I hope the coach of your favorite school does not have a BOOSTER pay a player or have a KID allegedly cheat on a test BEFORE being admitted and CLEARED to play by the NCAA.
I guess there is no need to feel sorry for any person making millions but to put it into perspective I would hate to be in any profession where I was held responsible for things beyond my control.

He isnt the only Coach to leave a program with an ncaa investigation comming up,but i think the ncaa is the problem.They have all this rules against these kids doing anything that involves money,but why not just admit College Sports are a BUSINESS and alot of the Kids are there for only one reason,to find out if they can make a living playing basketball.
They make so much money off these kids why not pay them something so Coaches dont have to cheat or out-bid other teams for a player that is only going to be there for a year,Walls from Kent.comes to mind,is that the player Cal will get the ncaa looking at Kent.,lol
