The meaning of this thread is rather cloudy, so I assume it is bait. But I walk into the valley of death unafraid. If the inference is that Calipari knew nothing about Cambys' agent because it did not benefit him, thus becoming an innocent bystander, I have one question: Camby supposedly received, jewelry, rental cars, and prostitutes, $28,000 worth. How did Calipari not notice this?
The answer is probably why the NCAA vacated the UMass Final Four. UMass has been terrible since Calipari left, thus the honor. Not the same situation at Memphis. Is Caliparis' virtue really something you want to champion? If I were a UK fan I would probably not boast too loudly about his ethics, or his tactics. He is pretty unique as far as the NCAA goes, factually speaking.

Well of the 2 coaches, only 1 has NCAA violations. Guess which?

I'll give you the part about threads like this do nothing but invite the stuff like you posted. As for Camby, if you were doing those things would you have told your coach? He was one guy and he should have been watched closer in hindsight but they were on top world at the time probably didn't have enough experience to be on top of it. I guess you think pitino knows all about the hookers that have gone on for years at Louisville and with countless players?

Camby was a single instance, not a pattern or a habit like the things that are going on at Louisville and UNC.

 

[.S&C.]

A lot of UK fans that I have worked with and seen on the different boards called Cal a cheater when he was at Memphis but as soon as he got to UK he became some kind of God.

That wasn't the question. Your kind were calling Pitino a cheater up until he arrived on your campus. Answer the question moron.

If I were a UL fan, the last thing I would be doing is pointing fingers at a coach who has been cleared by the NCAA. Btw, how are the multiple investigations going that involve the UL faculty and basketball team?

Speaking of facts regarding Cal, you seem to have only posted assumptions regarding his knowledge of Camby and his benefits. You do understand the difference between assumptions and reality, right?

Based on this logic, you must be terrified at the thought of the NCAA vacating Louisville's 2012 Final Four banner and their 2013 title banner. Years of systematic cheating set up in an on-campus dorm named after the brother-in-law of your head coach and he somehow didn't know? Louisville fans have spent years claiming there was no way Cal wouldn't have known about Camby getting an agent (as if that would have helped UMASS, unlike recruiting with hookers), yet they truly believe Pitino had no idea about 4 years worth of hiring hookers right under his nose. Enjoy probation, and if the NCAA is consistent, enjoy taking down those banners.

LOVE the irony here. Only UofL fans.

Since we finally found a UofL fan that views prostitutes as an impermissible benefit and worthy of a Final Four being vacated, I guess that means you also believe the same should be true for UofL who cheated on a much wider scale with hookers? To paraphrase yourself, how did Pitino not notice this?

Ok, Sherlock. Did you know that Cal was the one that turned Camby in? And, do YOU actually believe the 15 second man himself, your coach, didn't know there was a whorehouse in the dorm he named after his dead brother in law? So, as far as virtue goes, who is the most virtuous of the two? IF all the stuff about Cal is true, he still would never fall to the level of a whorehouse running, adulterous scumbag you guys have at ULoserville.

Ok, CC, not that I'm in agreement with the premise, but I pose you the same question. How the heck didn't Pitino know about all of the "benefits" his recruits were getting at Minardi Hall? If we're questioning a coaches ethics, you may want to make sure you're coach isn't Pitino.

 

[JC for 3]

Louisville fans.....so blissfully ignorant.

 

[bluescat92]

So let me see if I have this right.

Pitino had sex with a woman who wasn't his wife in a public place, may or may not have paid for her to have an abortion, and then disgraced his family and university with a messy public extortion trial.

Pitino oversees a program that provides escorts for players and recruits.

Petrino gets caught sneaking around to meet with Auburn boosters, while he was still UL's coach, and while Auburn still had a coach. Then he later quits mid-season on the Falcons to take another job.

While at the new job, he employs a pretty blond ex-volleyball player to be his mistress on the university's dime.

Cal, on the other hand, raises millions of dollars for charity, never misses an opportunity to be an ambassador for our state, and has changed the lives of countless families by taking kids from difficult situations and helping them become multi-millionaires. His "sins" are having a player who took money from an agent as a junior, which Cal himself reported to the NCAA. And having a player who was declared eligible multiple times by the NCAA, only to have that agency later rule the kid ineligible over a test he may or may not have taken while in HIGH SCHOOL before ever arriving on campus.

But somehow Cal is the bad guy in this equation?

Is that the UL logic?

You left out something that Dicktino and his posse use to justify his existence "it only lasted 15 seconds".

Like Clinton smoked pot but did not inhale. Lol

Really, you can actually say that considering the two coaches you have.

One had sex on a restaurant table, got her pregnant, paid for her abortion and then made a staff member marry her to keep her in check.
Has had a staff member pay for and provide whores for current players, recruits and their guardians all while claiming he knew nothing about it. How did Dicktino not know about this ?

The other was having an affair with someone half his age, put her on a state payroll working under him (violation of state law and a criminal offense) crashed his motorcycle and lied to police authorities and his bosses.

Dude go back to your Looserville board and try to justify your existence over there. Your coaches are true scumbags. Scumbags.

Yes, this is true. If most UK fans are like me, and they probably are, they looked at Calipari, saw that he was able to recruit top players to UMass and Memphis, hated that our coach couldn't, and we assumed he was cheating somehow. Given the vacated Final 4 at UMASS and our theory was confirmed without ANY real investigation. Now add in the fact that Memphis and Calipari kicked our butts while making our Cats look inept at the Maui Invitational in one of Tubby's last years, and now you can add anger and jealousy to the mix. Sure, we hated him. He was scum and a cheater. Should anyone be surprised? But none of it was based in reality, just the reality that UK can't lose unless someone is cheating. Sound familiar?

Fast forward to today and the exact same thing can be said of Louisville fans, among others.

why would any UK fan even comment on Coach Cal while memphis? It wasnt like Memphis as a rival of ours, if I am not mistaken Memphis was kicking UofLs asses..so I imagine it was UofL fans who claim he cheats..and you just rather say it was UK fans

I'll ask the same question to you. How did Pitino not know about what Andre McGee was doing with those prostitutes during recruiting visits?
See how. That works?
You see, if Calipari knew, the NCAA would have nailed him to the wall but they didn't, instead, they came out and said there was no way he could have known.

 

[2Adulterers]

Since the ul dudes are all banned I'll play the part of your typical ul fan.

Calamari is a cheater, he showed that at umass and Memphis. We would rather have players like anus he plays for the name on the jersey and not for themselves. We like to get to know the players. We don't like to pry into our coaches personal life and no way crp knew about the broads. You guys are just jealous look at our record in football. Corrupt arena sucks! L1C4eva!

Back to the West End you uavel turd..Stick to ESCORTino your resident WhoreMonger and Adulterer..

 

[CardChipper]

Obviously the majority of posters here feel that Mr. Calipari did not know about Cambys' benefits, and should not be punished. And he was not. UMass, the university, was punished. The inference is what punishes him, the damage to his professional reputation. I would argue that Pitino is in the same situation, not only from the McGee situation but the Sypher drama. I would also argue that Pitino has suffered more, with the damage to his family. I would also offer that for all that Pitino did for UK, there should be some sympathy here.
