Yes and now able to eat soft food. Rick is hoping for a full recovery.Originally posted by blubo:
the last report that i heard said he was stable and improving, but extra precautions were being taken because air trauma injuries can be so unpredictable. our prayers are with him
Can we move past the invention of fire, the Mona Lisa, Moby Dick? Hell no we can't. This was the greatest flop in the history of flopping, and it needs to be immortalized. Don't EVER forget. #L1CJOriginally posted by Mr Man 921:

Yes, you can by ignoring these threads.Originally posted by Mr Man 921:

You better believe RP condoned the flopping. They were doing it from the opening tip. This game was going to be UL's shining moment. They brought in their celebrity "fan" and outfitted her with some gear for the under 4:00 photo op. As it turned out, not only did they lose the game, MH was held to single digit scoring and the ludicrous flop went viral and made them look like complete fools. Bilas' comments were icing on the cake.Originally posted by loucatfan:
I think many are missing the hypocrisy of RP. Unlike others on this board I respect him for the time and memories and championships he provided for us.
However, it is inconceivable to me that Ric did not know and condone CJ flopping. He is into too much detail. He knew and should be chastised for this as well.
Now, now... Harrell had a septuple single against UK. How many people could have managed that? in fact, he managed to get that against UK where in every other game he wasn't able to accomplish it.Originally posted by Ugoff:

For RP to come out and say he was benching Jones for flopping is beyond ridiculous. Any media member who took that at face value is either corrupt or stupid.
during the Florida versus UConn game yesterday they mentioned it after Chiozza did a double flop against Boatwright and the refs fell for it.Originally posted by KYBallCoach:
Dan Dakich brought it up today in the OSU and Illini game
that double flop really ticked me off. After they replayed it like, 15 times, I was like ..... "and .... heerrrrreee's the first head snap ..... then wait for it .... there's the second pussy head flop and - THERE ! He falls down saying 'Look at me official, I can't play basketball so I need to fake flop like the crappy so-called basketball player I am so I can get you to help us out with a foul call' .... jeezuz .....Originally posted by Bert Higginbotha:

with Willie giving him the long stare after the steal and dunk.Originally posted by Catclass15:
Harrell's dive was actually funnier to me, hilarious.
Excellent take, as usual.Originally posted by .S&C.:
You're an idiot if you don't believe RP knew about the flopping. Jones got into trouble for other reasons more than likely(even louisville fans were saying something was coming due to his attitude) and Rick saw an opportunity. Blame it on the flop, tell jones you're not going to disclose the "real reason" (YA know, looking out for him) and be able to tell the media that HE did not sanction the bush league BS. It's nothing more than "coach spin[/URL]". Rick works for louisville it doesn't matter if kentucky fans or the national scene believes it. As long as the media and louisville personnel/fans believe it, that's enoug for Rick. And we all know how easy that is. Just open your mouth Rick, right?
As Goff said, Rick is always about the details. Louisville fans can't fool UK fans on Rick. He was ours before he was theirs. We know him just as well.
If flopping was a "surprise" to Rick (that's basically what he is saying) and he wanted to do something about it Rick would simply shut a practice down and ripem. S
More than a few players flopped and jones didn't even have the worst one, Harrel did. Anytime you dive head first into open space CLEARLY NOT pushed, it's gonna be ridiculous. Harrell actually flopped twice in the game . Rozier was doing a few "stumble" flops dribbling the ball as well.
The TEAM was clearly trying to gain an advantage flopping, and that is coached.
