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

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.



Nobody is questioning his coaching abilities.

But the fact that he ran into trouble at umass and memphis should probbaly be some sort of red flag. Jim Harrick is known as a cheater because his son gave easy tests and one of his players got like $400. I think Marcus Camby received like 50,000 from an agent...you don't think cal was aware of that?

Those were infractions, not cheating. Who's the idiot now?

Ok DeZeier, Calapari coached in the NBA BEFORE going to Memphis. To the OP, as they say sometimes perception is reality and the book is not closed on Coach Cal yet.

But IMO, at Kentucky he has every single resource you can imagine to recruit. I would be shocked if sanctions come to him at Kentucky. But you never know.

Ironic coming from vols. At worst, we cheat and rule. You cheat and suck and snitch on other programs.

How's it feel to be hated losers? You're the Chicago Cubs of college sports.

Recruit better players than the other team and roll the ball out?

Rolled those balls out pretty well against Arkansas.

And to the OP, it's because his previous two schools dealt with NCAA violations under his tenure. It is what it is. The spin would be hilarious though if he was a football coach at some of the schools of the fans spewing their bullshite here though.

You couldn't be 30-0. No, you couldn't with your negative outlook.
