OT: FBI has reportedly arrested several NCAA basketball assistant coaches.

[djct1999]

If Pitino can connect the UL administration to anything he did, then they all go down together. I think that is Pitino's threat.

Get your popcorn ready. This is going to be quite the show regardless.

He went dancing with Madonna?

hahah. good catch.

I realize he probably isn't the most connected basketball journalist in the world but Mark Titus almost bit off his tongue when asked to talk about Coach K and his alleged cheating in an interview I heard this morning.

What did you hear that makes you believe he "almost bit off his tongue" when asked

 

[upstater]

If I am the UL, I admit fault by not properly monitoring Pitino, but claim he went vogue.

"They had style.

Looks at Pitino's stupid face. "

Is Pitino really Coach-2?

He basically insinuated that he was well aware of all sorts of smoke around the Duke program (as he is a former AAU player and friends with some of the players who would have been receiving these benefits). But that he as a journalist with integrity cannot make accusations without proof. That was the jist I got anyhow.

Auburn leadership moves toward ending AD Jay Jacobs' tenure

Auburn AD looks to be on the way out. Hope they don’t come for AD Dave as a replacement

 

[Walker11]

What did you hear that makes you believe he "almost bit off his tongue" when asked

The combination of "Duke is dirty as hell" "I don't think I'm at liberty to talk about this" and "it's a situation where I know things but I don't have the documents so I'm just going to be called a hater." Not really biting his tongue in retrospect, just vague.

Cal, K, Pitino and Self are the Mt Rushmore of coaches that I'd love to see nuked into little piles of gravel.

This is why you pray Miami has more that is uncovered.

Pearl's hoops improprieties at Auburn aside, such a move may also usher in hiring a new football coach.

That's awesome, but he has no reliable sources.

This is a fictional/fairy tale account. Safe to ignore.

Basically, "I hate everyone that is good that is not Izzo."

IIRC Dude was spot on during conference alignment. I think. Maybe not. Not sure. Was Dude the guy who had the WF carwash buddy? Or was he the guy with a friend at a B1G school? It's all a blur.

Neither, he’s just delusional.

this guy is either a troll or has imaginary friends who feed him information.

 

[KingConn]

Didn't realize Jim Gatto's dad, Jim Gatto Sr. was Taliek's high school basketball coach. Paragraph 8...

 

[Durks07]

this guy is either a troll or has imaginary friends who feed him information.

He can be both.

The Dude is a WVU guy. He's likely hoping that WVU would take Louisville's place. Don't think for a minute that there wouldn't be some support in the ACC for that if Louisville got the boot. They're pretty much at the same level as Louisville academically, and are fairly strong in both sports. Geographically, they're a perfect fit, and they have to be sick of all the travel entailed with being in the B12. I don't think it will happen, but you never know. At worst, it would get the realignment train moving again, as the B12 would have to find at least one new member.

Think basement, no windows, maybe indoor plumbing, no need for toothbrush. That's your guy.

The ACC is not a step up from the Big12. Maybe the ACC will invite umass? BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Like Joe, like because bribery, tax evasion, conspiracy and all that are like federal crimes. That guy is a touch hole.

 

[JMick]

that sub header is awful writing:

"Like, why are the feds investigating college basketball? Is bribery widespread? And where will the NCAA go from here"

Not trying to bend over backwards to defend it, but that "like" is just a continuation of "it raises a lot of questions". Such as. Like. Same difference.
