Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5264853, member: 44"] Keep in mind that Syracuse also had an APR violation and received what was then the standard punishment a loss of scholarship. Connecticut, also received a loss of scholarship, but then received a second punishment for the same year set to a new standard of loss of postseason play. The NCAA changed the rules and applied them, retroactively, punishing UConn twice for the same violation. But it gets even worse than that. The NCAA ignored Connecticut, current APR and applied only prior APR's because "other institutions wouldn't have time to put their APR together". What the hell does that even mean? How is that even vaguely relevant to Connecticut? That debacle was the biggest bull crap event ever. For someone to come on this board and suggest that somehow that sequence of events shows that Jim Calhoun was a bad coach might well be the stupidest statement ever made on The Boneyard, and that is saying an awful lot.
