Assistant Coaches Arrested /Book Richardson is One

The effort by the sports networks and their talking heads to protect their investment and their jobs has begun. They are painting Pitino and the ass't coaches where the evidence has been uncovered as evil but are insisting not all coaches are crooked.
As for hiring ex law enforcement personnel to investigate I can write their report today. No one at the univ knew anything except the crooked ass't. The school is lily clean.
It will take someone who wants to avoid prison to keep this scandal going.
The fact is Pitino cheats because Calipari cheats, Pearl cheats because Miller cheats and so on. All of them would say they only cheat because the others do. College basketball is a cesspool and probably always has been. The 1951 point shaving scandal uncovered two of the most esteemed college coaches of all time, Nat Holman and Clair Bee as cheats.

They cheat because of greed. That greed starts with the lack of integrity of the parents of players and the brokers they entrust their children to and the players themselves who bargain with coaches and recruiters like border town hookers for cash and benefits.
There is plenty of blame to go around.

1.Do you think Pitino "gets it" - that all the money and rings and fame might not really be worth the tradeoff as to
his family, his freedom, his friends...wow
2.How can Calipari escape this...maybe it is just a matter of time -when he might himself be one and done - one criminal charge and consequences...
Can't believe UKy and UConn have not been mentioned yet...

thanks

No, I don't think Pitino ets it and his m.o. has always been to get over and blame someone else.
ALL major colleges take part in the "game" and until this FBI investigation the only ones punished by the NCAA have been the Cleveland States of college basketball. Don't forget we got nailed for an assistant coach giving $400 in cash to a "needy" player.
 
It is apparently a contagious brain disease being spread to head coaches:

Archie Miller: "I am surprised as anyone with what is going on"

Makes me F MENTAL!

You should be fired cause you don't know what's going on in your organization. This 'I am shocked' attitude is a joke. I don't know how many ppl a head coach is responsible for. 4? 3 asst coach and 1 DOBO that's on him? Cmon man. You can't account for what they are doing. Clean house.

Why yes, it was the great basketball fairy that dropped off 5 star recruits under Archi Miller's pillow. :p
 
let's hope our schools financial woes prevented us from paying $ or at the very least we paid in bitcoins
 
So far Indiana is not under investigation but he and Richard @ MN apparently got infected by family members.

Not suggesting you don't realize this, Paul, but I think a few who responded to this quote don't --- Archie is the former head coach of Dayton (now Indiana head coach), NOT his brother Sean who is at Arizona and had Book working for him for the last 11 years....

It's not just the athletic depts. and the coaches but College presidents leaving conferences and affiliations years in the making for another quick buck. Contracts and words of trust mean nothing to BC. Pitt, Syracuse etc.
 
Have been reading threads on some of the perennial top schools forums. Particularly UK, it's amazing how blind fandom can make you delusional. These dudes are all about Kansas and Duke being dirty, but Cal is such a great salesman that he doesn't need to stoop to that level. It's pretty wild, ha. This stuff is fascinating.

Coach Calamari is the leader of the pack. He's the Teflon Don. His Kentucky backers, from private donors to politicians , are his posse. The NBA uses him as collegiate D LEAGUE source and he now holds NBA combines. NOT ONE of his players are there to be students. They take hand picked basket weaving courses designed to keep them eligible. They live in a luxury dorm with a private chef. They are the dirtiest program in America and, according to the NCA $A, it is all legal and on the up and up. They make Don Corleone's olive business look amateurish.

The parents of a typical Kentucky recruit once they get their first payment from an anonymous source.

Per Goodman
Oklahoma State University announced assistant basketball coach Lamont Evans has been terminated for cause.

"Evans was instrumental in helping put together Oklahoma State’s 2017 signing class, which currently includes four-star teammates Zach Dawson and Latravian Glover of South Miami High School, St. John’s transfer big man Yankuba Sima and Souleymane Diakite of Canterbury Academy in Spain."

Damn that is one nice set-up for a 20 year old kid. I can just imagine them holding some kind of sham lottery to get the 50% average students needed to fill the building. More chicanery involved with that as well.

Although, I must say my son went to Penn State and his digs were not bad. Off campus housing in place called the Retreat. Private bedroom, bathroom, had a common swimming pool, sauna and game-room etc. Understand that times have changed from the old dorm room misery. Of course, I went to a professional certification (business related) at Boston University a couple of years ago. Stayed in campus housing (for a week), no TV, shared shower for 4in a room. Oh man, I stayed at the bar every night. Boston is a great city but it was torture. On my way out I ran into some young kids and told them about the Penn State (off campus) housing and I blew their minds. I think I had them set to transfer.
 
If they don't bring down Calipari, this investigation cannot be considered a success.

I just cannot believe he, of all coaches, is clean.
