UK Coach Calipari 'jacked' as 2011 class makes it official

[era veteran]

"Anthony Davis, Michael Gilchrist, Marquis Teague and Kyle Wiltjer make up the nation's No. 1 recruiting class and arguably the best class yet brought to Kentucky by basketball coach John Calipari.
That's saying something given that Calipari's first two classes of recruits were each ranked as the nation's best." Three # 1 classes in a row, too bad about this one and done shit. The NCAA sucks, a rule book as long as the tax code. Free Enes Kanter to play. Opening tipoff Friday night @ 7:00 on FSS.

10. At UMASS

Calipari's program was found so corrupt they had to vacate a host of win from their final 4 season. The same thing happened at Memphis. Just a matter of time before it happens at Kentucky. The guy is a crook.

11. It was never Calapari that was in trouble! get educated

#1 UMass had its 4-1 1996 NCAA Tournament record vacated when the NCAA discovered that Minuteman player Marcus Camby had accepted money and gifts from an agent. , although this appearance was later vacated by the NCAA because Camby had accepted about $28,000 from two sports agents. Calapari NOT implicated it was between Canby & agent
Understand????

#2 The NCAA investigated allegations that a player on the 2007-08 team committed "knowing fraudulence or misconduct in connection with his entrance examination" and had an unknown individual complete his SAT examination. The NCAA informed Calipari in a letter that he was not considered "at risk" in this investigation. NOT AT RISK. Understand????


I have worked closely with the Basketball team, we catered Wildcat Lodge several years. I manage an iconic Restaurant between Campus and downtown that every basketball guru comes in sooner or later. I know a lot about the program and I know lots of players. If there is shit flying about the program I am very fucking well positioned to hear of it and I have not. If you, who call a man a criminal for your alleged infractions in rules of a private entity, i.e. the NCAA think about it even if what you sort of allege was true he would NOT be a crook as no laws were broken , the NCAA does not have laws on the books just their regulations which you could break all day and not be a criminal.

If you have proof that their are some NCAA rules being broken I suggest you call Nancy Bell, the UK NCAA compliance officer. She is a pistol and if she caught our boys cheating she would be on them like stink on shit. No one in Kentucky wants a tainted fucking championship. GO CATS

Not taking any specious bullshit about our team. Sincerely RFL/ era vet

13. oh please

he was in charge of the program at the time and left before the infraction was discovered. These big name coaches never get implicated. The guy is as corrupt as they get in the coaching profession.

14. Proof please, a premise in this country is innocence until

proven guilty. The media watches the program closer than a Hollywood star. If you know something back it the fuck up or back off.

Clem Haskins was effectively blackballed from coaching college basketball for seven years, one of the most severe penalties handed down by the NCAA to an individual. Clem is from my hometown, he was more than implicated.

Baylor and Dave Bliss, summer 2003
It began when center Patrick Dennehy disappeared and later was found dead, with a bullet in his skull. Evidence soon pointed at Baylor forward Carlton Dotson, who eventually pleaded guilty to killing Dennehy.
When Dennehy’s death became a national story, informers popped up alleging NCAA rules violations had occurred under Bliss nearly 20 years earlier at SMU — and some things had happened at Baylor, as well. It seemed a bit twisted — who cared about NCAA rules when a young man’s life had ended?
It mattered to Bliss. An assistant coach taped a conversation in which Bliss told those gathered in his office to suggest Dennehy had been dealing drugs. Why? To cover for rules violations.

Ohio State and Jim O’Brien, 2004
O’Brien admitted to his boss, AD Andy Geiger, he’d made a $6,000 payment for the family of a European recruit who never played for the Buckeyes. Later allegations against the program included academic fraud and improper benefits for another European recruit who was part of the Buckeyes’ 1999 Final Four team. O’Brien was fired directly after admitting the payment

Georgia and Jim Harrick, 2003
The allegation that Harrick’s son, Georgia assistant Jim Harrick Jr., had been teaching what amounted to a sham PE course embarrassed the Bulldogs and effectively ended Harrick’s college coaching career, which included impressive work at Pepperdine, UCLA (where he won the 1995 NCAA title) and Rhode Island.

There are a lot of other coaches ruined through cheating, but this refutes your wrong argument that big name coaches never get implicated. Show any proof Calapari is crooked.


Kentucky beats ETSU 88-65.

5. Calipari "jacked off"????

:wtf:

[era veteran]

9. I think the Herald/Leader a bit premature, he'll do that

after he wins a title. They may have meant pumped.

[Condem]

6. What did it cost Calipari, era?

I mean,he's cheated everywhere he's been. Why stop now??

[era veteran]

7. The NCAA has NEVER found him guilty of breaking a rule

What up about that? You know of an infraction please report. Sandy Bell is the NCAA compliance officer at UK. I have her business card and could give you her phone #. She is not a nice lady in her official capacity. If you or anyone else needs to report UK for an infraction let her know, she will investigate fully. If, I expect, you are blowing smoke, put up or shut up. People hate Kentucky on spec. Nothing wrong with sports 'hatred' as I indulge in it frequently but the Blue is not under any investigation. Tipoff tonight @ 7:00 FSS. Three # 1 Recruiting classes in a row, pretty heady stuff.
