thetorch Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 This has become a pattern with Calipari. He leaves and his former team gets into trouble. UK should have the NCAA on speed dial the day Calipari retires or resigns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufanskip Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I hope whatever sanctions he gets follow him to UK and restrict his ability to be successful there. The only way to stop these schools from hiring coaches with baggage is to make the penalties severe when they are caught. Coaches ought to be like schools, when it's your second or third time the penalties become more severe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BillikenReport Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 If I remember correctly, one or two of Cal's new blue chip recruits at UK have yet to get the test score they need to be eligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwyjibo Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 If I remember correctly, one or two of Cal's new blue chip recruits at UK have yet to get the test score they need to be eligible. They are still interviewing applicants for "testtaker". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clock_Tower Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 They are still interviewing applicants for "testtaker". If I recall, Norm Stewart had some pretty good "testtakers" who might be able to help Calipari out at UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure do get a lot of stuff wrong. I am a Billikens fan. I didn't say I wasn't a Tigers fan. What's there to be confused about? It's too bad your daughter didn't get a scholly from Mizzou's softball team. They're in the World Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After somebody took a shot at your beloved Mizzou, rather than simply defend them, you responded by taking a shot at SLU. You could have simply defended the honor of your Tigers and left it at that. Your I'm a fan of both programs act hasn't fooled anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's refreshing that no one besides me pays you any attention(see your worthless Derrek Brown thread for evidence). It just kills you that I'm a bigger Bills fan than you. Deal with it. Have a great summer! do your homework and look up the schools. not even close. Those rankings are bogus. At least that's what I hear when SLU is not ranked high enough. And besides she needs to be more concerned with partying. I'm sure Rolla beats them on that account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mommy doesn't love you and you're stuck in her basement. It is amusing watching you flail around and try to convince people you are a SLU fan.

You have defended the A-10 but I honestly don't know if you ever specifically used that as reason for your defense. However I continually have heard Rammer and particularly Earl Austin cite things like the UMass fraudulent run to the Final Four, Rhode Island's success under Harrick and Temple's Final Eight appearances under John Chaney, who had one of the worst graduation rates in the history of D-1 basketball as "reasons" why we belong in the A-10 and it is so superior to any other alternative. Don't get me wrong I personally want us in the A-10 over any other current option. But I think it's hypocritical to get on our constant academic high horse and then give three of the worst academic situations/cheating that's been affiliated with the league as reasons why we should be in said league.
