what you guys think about coach cal and the memphis vilations, we all know that u.mass. got in trouble for vilations in 1997. and cal. left them hanging and moved on. know he has done the same thing to memphis how long will it be tell he does it to ky. for he knows that if you dont win at ky. then your out . look what they done to billy g. that wasnt right. the universty done gillispi wrong and cal is going to do u.k. wrong before its over. and move on . i think that the coach should get the same as the college gets that they leave on its not right for them to just say well were in trouble weve got caught ill make it look like im not in it and then move on to a new team..

Cal did nothing wrong, the NCAA has already cleared Cal of any wrong doing in this situation. The problem with Derrick Rose's SAT score came while he was in high school and was done by his high school not just for him but for several players on the team. Grades for some of the other players were changed as well. The team did this to keep the players eligible to compete for a state title. Several of the other players have admitted that it was a high school thing and Memphis had nothing to do with it. Memphis is just the unlucky party in this situation.

Any Pitino fan shouldnt be talking about violations to a UK fan, Pitino has 8 NCAA violations on his record and Cal has 0.

looks like memphis may have 38 wins and 2008 final 4 appearence vacated, same thing in 96 at umass, if so Cal will be the only coach to ever have two ncaa experiences vacated at two different schools..... if no fradulent infractions occured no penalty, also was illegal expediture of $2000 travel $$$ for Rose's brother while Derrick was emrolled playing at memphis.... no dog in this fight, wish both uk and memphis well, ul too since they have been mentioned... don't think anything offical yet...

It didn't take the mods long to Delete the Pitino thread..I'll say they will ZAP this one pretty quick.

Its funny you can put stuff on here about Coaches and the Mods will Zap it. They can Bash Obama on threads ,and they never get deleted.

Regardless of the reason that Memphis just lost all their wins from 07-08 season it seems a little fishy to me that this is the second time it has happened to a Cal coached team.

So your saying that it is just a big coincidence that two of Cal's teams have lost all their wins in one season due to violations?

looks like memphis is charged with fradulent practices and failure to monitor and will have wins vacated... just a thought do the wins 38 during 2007-8 and 35 in 96 at umass count in coach cal's win total or are they deducted there as well, would be loss of 73 wins for the coach.....

Kentucky is not texas and a coach cannot treat his players the way coach gillespie did and get a way with it. Gillespie was way out of his league and most likely will never be on the big stage again.

This is the last I will say on this topic due to the fact that my knowledge of the situation seems to be offending people. I am sorry to those that I may have offended as it was not my intent. I am just true blue card carrying member of the Big Blue Nation and sticking up for my cats is just instinctual.

I am still proud Coach Cal is our coach. I believe the following years will be some of the best ever for the UK program and we will be back on top sooner rather than later.

Anybody who follows college basketball and specifically college basketball recruiting knows that any coach who is consistently winning at a high level crosses the letter of the NCAA law from time to time. All the top coaches of my lifetime have been in trouble with the NCAA at one time or another, Roy Williams, Coach K, Rick Pitino, Coach Cal, Bill Self, Kelvin Sampson, Jim Harrick, along with many others. The NCAA is very hypocritical on how they issue punishment in these instances, see my earlier post regarding the Corey Maggette incident while he was at Duke. Is it likely that Cal has crossed those lines at some point, yes it is but he has never been implicated in any of it. This situation would not have come to light had one of Rose's high school teammates not bragged about his test score being changed to the wrong people. The NCAA Clearinghouse, the NCAA office that must clear all players and thier grades and test scores before they can play, cleared Rose to play and now they hold Memphis responsible for letting him play when they cleared him to play.


Anybody who follows UK knows that we have been one of the most penalized college basketball programs in NCAA history. It dates all the way back to Rupp and then the major blow with Eddie Sutton. Since Eddie Sutton UK has put into place the best NCAA compliance office in all of college sports. That is why UK has not even sniffed a NCAA violation since the day Pitino started on as coach until today. The UK compliance office contacted the NCAA when they were interviewing Cal and Cal was cleared of any wrongdoing in this situation before he was ever hired. Both Mitch Barnhardt and Lee Todd as well as the head of the compliance office knew of the ongoing Memphis investigation. That is why Barnhardt mentioned during the press conference to announce Cal as coach that he was completely clean as a coach in regards to any past or current NCAA investigations. Cal will probably still work the boundaries of the law, like other top coaches, but I would be very surprised if he are UK were to ever get into any NCAA trouble during his time as coach.

Virgil,

Intelligent response, and I appreciate you taking the time to write it. You didn't ruffle my feathers with what you were saying at all. I just was wondering what your feelings about Cal were.

You are right most coaches and or prgrams have been investigated by the NCAA.

I wish the cats nothing but luck in the coming years. Mostly b/c I would like the Jayhawks to have another chance to step on Cal's heart again in the championship game.

Rock Chalk!!!!
