Assistant Coaches Arrested /Book Richardson is One
- Thread starter paultzman
- Start date
I saw that Mater Christi team play at Molloy. Tony Red Bruin was a great HS player. I don't remember who won but I remember it being very close. It was so crowded at Molloy with people set up with chairs on the stage.
Also saw MC play Tolentine. Tolentine had two big kids and they tried to double Bruin. I think Bruin had a pretty good game. Unfortunately for SJU he went to Cuse. He was a great HS player. If he was a little taller he would have had a better college career and been a pro. I think he was like 6 feet 5. He was killing HS guys in the post.
I didn't mean he wouldn't be fired but its all about what's next and what does and doesn't "stick" to him. He will say he knew nothing. I would be shocked if he doesn't contest the loss of potentially $44MM without some sort of fight. I see the NBA in his future.
Louisville is just trying to save what already is a bonfire. They'll say once we were alerted we got rid of everyone responsible for monitoring. It won't work but they are angling for some/any way forward.

It's just weird to me that Pitino would have to cheat to the level he has. He's one of the greatest basketball minds of all time. You'd think that players would flock to him without getting paid.
The only bigger idiot would be if Cal is still cheating. Being a guaranteed first rounder after one year should be sufficient payment, right?

Completely agree. I think he got off easy when someone on his staff was providing services for women. I own a business and have several employees. Its on me whatever is done on my watch. I talk with them as well as my client contact daily. I am a mom and pop shop operation. These multi million dollar operations need to be held to the same level. He should have been fired a year ago.
This investigation is by no means comprehensive, in fact it's just something the feds ran into by chance and the limited incidences identified are not the outliers of the overall system, they are just examples of what happens everywhere. So just because LSU was not mentioned dos not clear them nor any other school. LSU is a Nike school. This is essentially an Adidas investigation and a limited one at that. The fact that any of you believe that any of the schools in the Power 6 are entirely clean is so laughable. I bet you could uncover small time stuff at Northwestern, Vanderbilt and even lil' ol' STJ if you looked hard enough.
The end product of this is that the NCAA is going to have to completely rework their system, and kids will finally get paid out in the open. How they will control that will still eventually come into question since I still don't think they will be able to completely level the playing field.
PS - LJSA I admire your naivete.
I would think that since everybody or almost everybody is cheating and paying money even the elite programs think they have to cheat to keep up. As an example it would be like should I play for Cal or Ricky for $150,000 or coach K for free (assuming for example purposes that K wasn't cheating).

He's hearing it from Avon. Rumor surrounds an assistant coach delivering Avon products to a transvestite recruit with the promise to only wear Avon makeup once he got to the NBA.
