Message: [QUOTE="LStudfellow, post: 2220444, member: 5436"] Of course, that was never my point, now was it... You have twisted and misrepresented my points with each and every response. Frankly, it is why so many posters have hammered you on here Chief. You do not take responsibility for any of your hot takes (too many to re-post, but let's just start with the Tremont Waters "confirme_" ridiculousness... and so many others where you have been flat out wrong, but never have the guts to admit it), you stand on points even when you have been proven wrong, and you are consistently a fountain of mis-information. Although I will also say that like many on here, I do find you entertaining. Thank you Tenspro and pj... Tenspro your summation was spot on, and pj I agree 100% that Jim Calhoun is the best thing that ever happened to UConn men's basketball. And in fact that has been my stance on here, and for over 25 years. You can ask any of my friends who have had that discussion with. [B]So what is your position Chief, that is what I do not get. [/B]Are you trying to say the 3 National Championships means he is blameless for what happened with Nate Miles, the APR ban, Oriakhi/Smith transfers and the 2 years of recruiting restrictions? Because stating I am finding "so much fault" with the man as the basis for your rebuttal is utter nonsense. I am just making the same points I have made over and over again based on the facts of history while you come out with the same false take while never once supporting your blameless stance with anything more than "hey, he won 3 National Championships so that makes him blameless for those bad things that happened that hurt the program as he was leaving." There is one piece of what you said that I agree with... it is extremely rare to win a National Championship. It is why Kevin Ollie deserves the chance to turn the program around and correct his recent mistakes before he is let go. Because winning a national title is rare... winning 3 is utterly amazing, which of course is why Coach Calhoun is rightly considered one of the 5 greatest coaches ever in NCAA men's basketball history. I am done with this debate - it is impossible to continue a debate with someone who can keep misstating and spouting lies about my position so that you do not have to actually support yours with any real substance. Because of course you do not have any of real substance to support yourself with. And furthermore and more importantly, I have zero desire to be critical of the coach who gave me so many years of great memories, excitement, and championships, both Nationally and in the Big East, as well as two of the most fun weekends of my life - the 1990 Big East Championship in NYC at MSG, and the 1999 Final Four in St. Pete. Thank you Coach Calhoun for everything you did for our basketball program, our University, and our state! [/QUOTE]
