Why is Calipari widely believed to be a cheat?

I've seen this belief espoused both here on the Rant as well as elsewhere. What is the basis?

Please pardon my ignorance here. No troll. I genuinely am curious.

I'm not too informed, but while he was at UMass and Memphis I think there were some scandals about players receiving illegal benefits, and since Kentucky has had such great recruiting success, some believe that there could be something fishy.

Because he is a good coach and motivator who is an exceptional recruiter. Nobody has beat him this year, so it is easier for people to say that he is a cheater than accept the fact that him and his players are just better than anyone else.

Much suck to cheat and still be shitty.

Calipari has vacated wins at every school he has been at. He is a proven cheater.

Former customer of mine (and friend) had a son who was a team manager at Memphis. He'll tell you straight up Cal is crooked as hell. That was at Memphis.

I honestly dont think he has to be at UK. He just has to say "come play one year. Get rings and then go to the NBA and get rich." He has mastered that formula. I dont know many coaches who can put together an entire new team each year.

What proof do you have? The NCAA would love to see it.

Head Coach at UMASS-Final Four, NCAA investigation, Stripped of Final Four appearance, left for Memphis.

Head Coach at Kentucky-To Be Continued

Do you see a pattern here? Even though coach Cal as an individual didn't get any sanctions, the program he was at the helm did.

Because at Memphis and UMass he had a checkered passed.

If he is cheating at UK. Then he is beyond stupid. That place recruits itself.

No, but him being a cheater years ago has no effect on whether or not he cheats today.

And yet none of that gave him any competitive advantage.
