Geno's telephone congratulations to Mo'ne Davis dubbed a "violation"[merged thread]

[semper]

It will all come out eventually.

So ridiculous.

 

[sawxfan23]

I am not sure if it was mis reported or not but on the news this morning they said "a school from the AAC has reported UConn Coach Geno Auriemma".

 

[Icebear]

It may be a laughing stock, but they have the power to tarnish Coach Auriemma and his WCBB program, not to mention take away scholarships and ban the team from post-season play. I refuse to laugh at an organization that can pretty much do whatever they want when it comes to enforcement. This very well could be payback for Shabazz spouting off and embarrassing Emmert on national TV.

They no longer have the power to tarnish anyone let alone Geno. What they have is the ability to be bullies. This is the reason they are falling apart in front of everyone's eyes.

They can make lives miserable for people in an attempt to prove their power but they have lost all ability to project anything moral or good with a right to be taken seriously.

It would be awesome if the school could, you know stop cheating, just for a few years. I mean the men just got off probation for God's sake so you'd think *someone* in the Athletic Department could say "yo Geno we don't have a great track record with the NCAA so maybe on these borderline cases we should just err on the side of caution." Sorry, I know most on here just care about the streaks and Ws, but I do actually give a damn about the athletic programs keeping it clean, and a secondary violation is still a violation.

Oh geez.

Can I nominate this for the most inane post of the decade? Maybe the century but there is a lot of time left.

This has to be a new record response time by the NCAA. One has to wonder what they have against UConn.

"It shows you what is wrong not only for things that go on but also with some of the people that I coach against," he (Geno) said.

My money's on Kentucky, Rutgers or Penn State.

I doubt any of those. Coquese has great respect for Geno.

 

[Icebear]

The men didn't have a recruting violation. It was having to low an APR.

What was unfair is they went back to prior years before the guidelines were set.

There were issues of illegal contact by assistant coaches at one point weren't there?

 

[Icebear]

Does anyone have the video clip of Geno and Mo'ne?

I would like to have a copy.

The NCAA, through their inability to consistently apply even their own convoluted rules, has lost the moral high ground. The key to moral behavior is ethical principles consistently applied...

Have they ever met in person ? I don't think so.

Maybe, but I don't remember that.

UConn needs to stop cheating because the NCAA is just waiting to drop the hammer on us. We need to do it better and cleaner than anyone else or eventually it will be a death by a thousand paper cuts.

UCONN didn't cheat. This is similar to being thrown into jail by a corrupt regime by making up a law as they go along. The UCONN compliance office said it was okay and anyone with common sense would agree. The NCAA has something in for UCONN.

The hit UCONN took on the men's side was a joke. Even this past year the seeding of the UCONN men was a joke. This recruiting violation handed down by an incompetent and corrupt regime is a joke. .The comments we hear from the NCAA during the basketball selctions were comical and an embarrassment though I can no longer remember what was said- I just thought the man was a joke. The complete disregard for what UNC did was a joke. The NCAA is a joke.

There aren't words to convey how silly this is: http://cour.at/1CxqMmL NCAA has an entire compliance industry to deal with this? Wow.

Charlotte, NC

If you're referring to Nate Miles in 2010, then yes. I don't think Miles ever even made it to campus, but UConn and Calhoun were sanctioned for the infractions nonetheless. I think the rules changed shortly thereafter.

 

[Icebear]

I meant the phone call. It was shown on ESPN wasn't it. I remember the fuss they made about it. Positive fuss.

Heard that it was an AAC school several times on TV

No scholarships were lost. The number of allowable off-campus recruiting days was cut from 130 to 90 for the 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13 recruiting periods.

 

[Icebear]

Whoever filed the report does not look anywhere as bad as the NCAA. The NCAA looks absolutely inept and disconnected from anything right and good.

 

[alexrgct]

Wait...Geno has been transformed into the NCAA?????????

 

[calpedaler]

Mike & Mike just went off on the "sniveling weasel", who reported the call as a violation.

They lost scholarships for 3 academic years (one per year for 2 years self-imposed with the NCAA tacking on the third year). And Calhoun was suspended for 3 games. And the team was on probation until February of this year.

 

[HoopsFan21]

By the way Mo'ne is on Fallon tonight. I don't think she will be dancing on stage like Stef though given the decade in age difference.

 

[Stinger92860]

Soooooo, the next time ANY girls youths teams play at a woman's college basketball game, for example at half time or before the start of a game, is that a violation? And what if they give the girls shirts, basketballs or just talk to them?

This is beyond stupid.

Will the NCAA reverse course? This is getting quite a lot of bad press.

If I have my guesses I'm leaning any of 3 ways! Muffet McGraw, ND / Brenda Frese, MD / Holly Warlick, TN. The first 2 because of obvious nasty/ jealous comments previously, or TN through the SEC!
I think it really sucks that anyone can accuse someone of violations and the NCAA won't release those people or the school! It can't happen in a court of law but the NCAA has no clue!
And even if it is a minor violation you have to be pretty petty to go after something like this!

no doubt, the media rarely shows her petty, nasty side. Frese has a jekyll and hyde personality. The Maryland myth " we are a big happy family"
