They also hate Sherri Coale because she lured Sade Wiley-Gatewood to transfer from TN to OU. Oh wait; except she didnt.
And I'm pretty sure they started the anti-Brenda Frese campaign (why I chuckle when all the BYers fall in line and criticize her as well).
Why chuckle? Do you know for sure that Frese isn't sketchy? Based on Geno's relationship with Coale, I tend to give her the benefit of the doubt. Plus, she is hot. And, she has never done anything to make me suspect she is anything but honest. The bottom line is that we have very little hard data on what any of these coaches do to lure players. When it comes to stuff like this I just use common sense and the eyeball test. And, frankly, I have often wondered why and how Maryland gets as many great recruits as they get. It is especially suspicious when a team got blue chip recruits or is getting those recruits before the program and coach have anything to sell to recruits that would logically want them to turn down UConn or Tenn or Stanford, etc. to go to their school. In some cases it works for them and they eventually achieve the success that should have been a prerequisite to landing such recruits. The cart came before the horse and now they have the horse to put in front of the cart, so to speak. Maryland, under Frese, does/did not pass my eyeball test. And, honestly, what is happening at UNC right now is really suspect too. UNC has had some success so seeing them land a top recruit is not suspicious. Landing the number they are landing and creating a scholarship logjam is suspicious. On the women's side, not many coaches have failed my personal eyeball test. Frese is one of them and Mulkey is the other. Actually, the entire Baylor athletic department makes me cringe.
On the men's side, the list is long and notorious. Calipari (of course), Scott Drew, Billy Donovan (cart came first), Bill Self, every coach at Ohio State for as long as I have been following college basketball, Steve Lavin and so on.
