Brucie a big fat sweaty cheater?

Color me SHOCKED.

Makes you wonder how many times UK has been sniffed out.

Also, I’m kind of for the all out embrace of spying and espionage in sports. It’d add a whole new layer of intrigue, but it’d give Virginia an unfair advantage given the amount of spooks in the state.

Word is that it only took them 5 minutes of spying to learn our in bounds play, our goooooo offense, and our ruuuuuuuuun other offense. The more challenging set to diagram was ‘go make a play’.

Looks like someone's trying to take the heat off of Michigan to bring up something that old and insinuated happen versus proof of a happening.

Cheating has become so commonplace in college hoops that I don't even raise an eyebrow anymore. I mean seriously, nothing surprises me anymore.

The only think I feel certain about is this: If it were UK & Cal that were caught cheating in some minimal fashion, the outrage would be over the top.

Whenever there’s money involved there’s cheating

Teams always try to get away with stuff, but agree if Cal and UK did it. ESPN Headlines

The lack of integrity in this land is disgusting really.

Again, I'm not naive, but it's just getting to a level of, "Why bother?" anymore and that's sad.

Wasn't it Nolan Richardson that Tubby let sit in on practice and he turned around and told the Arkansas staff what our gameplan was?

I believe it was, but he told Mike Anderson who coached UAB at that time.

You are correct. I had forgotten it was UAB and Anderson. I can't believe that Tubby was gullible enough to think that Richardson wouldn't spill the beans. What a stupid move.

I am not surprised that the bastard has cheated again and won’t be surprised when he does it again

Yeah! Pisses me off to this day!

OTS had a lot of great qualities. Intelligence wasn't really one of them.

 

[Wonky]

Yeah! Pisses me off to this day!

I’ve always thought the whole thing was a little overblown. Don’t get me wrong… it was a stupid thing for Tubby to do, and it definitely gave UAB an advantage they wouldn’t have otherwise had. But Anderson’s thing was always “40 minutes of hell”. They turned us over 16 times and had 9 steals. We were just too careless with the ball that day… just not prepared.

I get what you are saying but knowing our plays and game plan had to help with those steals and turnovers.

 

[Blue_2_the_bone]

Basketball isn’t like football. It’s not like you run 40 different plays in 60 offensive possessions. It’s not like teams put in 20 new sets for every team they face. Heck, when I played, we watched enough film on our conference opponents that we could tell you where they were going every play down the floor. But knowing what’s coming and defending it are two different things. Especially when it runs through and a man takes you off the dibble.

That uab team wasn’t even that good. They got merc’d by Kansas the next game. We probably beat them by double figures if not for Anderson knowing our game plan.

I don’t think it was necessarily dumb of Tubby. He let Richardson sit in out of good faith and friendship. Tubby was just a good dude. Richardson essentially stabbed him in the back and laughed about it afterwards. Richardson was a world class A-hole. One of tubby’s flaws was he was just too nice.

Nolan Richardson is who started it and we were the victim. Speaking of which whatever happened to the UAB Coach he was cheating for? The Coach's name escapes me.

No what he had was trusting others and not trying to put them in a box... That is a great quality to have, if you can't trust someone around you there is no reason to have them around... I would think Tubby learned a lesson from this back stabbing he took from Richardson...

Zero reason to ever spy on Kentucky basketball, every Benny sitting at home knows exactly what Cal is going to do and like clockwork he does it.

To beat UK, you just have to outplay our players because we’re never going to outsmart an opponent.

When cheating isn't punished, why would he not.

Oh I’m sure the FBI doesn’t mind wasting time doing that either as pathetic as they are these days.

That could have easily been the difference in the game honestly, especially knowing our strategy to attack them. We lost by what 2?

I agree mostly, if you don’t have the players to do it, in basketball it’s really hard to have an advantage.

No joke. I watched a high school team last week who had an assistant that didn’t watch the game when one team was on offense and faced the opposing coach. When a play was called, he would turn and tell the players the play, where the ball was coming and how to guard it. This happened any time they were in a half court set. They were #2 in their region & playing the #1. They kept it close but still got beat.

 

[ukjenning44]

Cal runs such a complex offense that the spy cams can’t keep up.

Really long way of saying a man in his mid-50s learned not to be naive. But sure.
