I think Calipari deserves some credit

Yeah the sinister fellas was to prove a point. There are all kinds of levels of terrible people. Some just don't have the ability to climb as high for many reasons. We only see with where they are at. If Calipari could be over a country there is no doubt it would be run as a mockery. Laws and NCAA guidelines who needs them in his eyes. Calipari feels he is above the laws.

It baffled me that so many discount Cals coaching because he has the best players. Part of coaching in college is recruiting. He's the best in that dept., whether you agree with his tactics or not. It's crazy that a large faction of you penalize him and his coaching because he gets better players. Like Zan said, if its so easy, why is he the only one doing it?

To admit past wrong doings. It doesn't matter. In either of those 2 mens case they could have kept denying. Pearl could have kept with his story regardless and same with Rose. Calipari and WWW will never tell their misconduct. Marcus Camby, Derrick Rose, Eric Bledsoe and others proves too much smoke their is a blazing fire that Calipari is hiding.

Wow, you really have lost touch a little bit here. Off the court Calipari is very involved in charities and raising funds for worthy causes. To take his ability to live in the grey area of the rule book and vault that to some type of comparison with 3 people the participated in the mass murdering of millions of innocent people is silly and basically makes anything else you say suspect. Calipari cheats no more or no less than 90% of Div 1 coaches.

No Pearl and Rose could not keep denying. They were caught red handed. To continue to deny would have just made them look like fools, see Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, and Mark McGwire. Rose copped to what he thought was a deal to let him get into the Hall of Fame. Turns out he got burned. Pearl thought coming back after lying would save his job and his program. It almost worked but the NCAA wanted him too bad.

I agree that Camby, Rose and Bledsoe all point a large finger at Calipari, however, none of them are the smoking gun that gambling reciepts and photos of your misconduct are. Again, if someone ever catches Calipari with his hands in the cookie jar, I expect him to start coming clean too. Until then he will continue to use the same 3 words that all other D1 coaches live by. DENY, DENY, DENY.

We can disagree but thanks for keeping it professional. I respect your postings. A lot of posting disagreements I read on here and result in name calling.

We can do that. And ditto to you on keeping it clean.

Publicly, he seems a very likable guy--but I'm convinced he's a cheater. Too slick as a recruiter--but geez, does he pull in the ballers. Every year!

I think he's still arrogant and two-faced. But at least he presented himself well on tv and made it all about his players when you know that title meant more to him than anything. At least he made the SEC look good bringing home another title.

Whaaaaaaa????

I hope you're not serious.

envious?

Sooner than later Cal will crash. Too much pressure to win it all every year. Crash and burn.
