  FTA -- "Regardless, whatever doubt that may have existed regaring Calipari’s knowledge of Rose’s issues have now been eliminated."
  
  How, exactly? The freaking NCAA Clearinghouse CLEARED ROSE TO PLAY. Apparently, they were complicit as well.

  Calimari is just as responsible as the NCAA

  my zags have taken a beating from memphis over the last few years, so it's a small consolation knowing that it wasn't all on the up-and-up.
  and really? you gotta cheat to win the conference USA?

  This wasn't just for conference USA, but to make deep runs into the tournament. I like Calipari back when he was with UMass before the news broke about all the stuff he was doing there. Now in Memphis, and is Kentucky next? What is the old saying? If you are not cheating you are not trying.

      • jaymz77 replied June 04, 2009

        Where ever Calipari goes he wins and after he leaves stuff happens.........I always pick his darn teams in my bracket to win it all and lose every time!!

        From Collegebasketball.com -- Calipari turned the Minutemen into a power, winning the Atlantic 10 tournament for five straight years from 1992-96. The '96 team capped reached the Final Four, losing to eventual champion Kentucky. But that season was marred by the news that Marcus Camby had accepted gifts from an attorney and aspiring player agent. The university was forced to return $151,000 in NCAA Tournament revenue (an amount that Camby repaid) and stripped of its four tournament victories. Calipari was never implicated in the controversy.

        nice find jaymz, i can't believe that was all put on Camby!! that's nuts, i mean granted it was wrong, they're just kids when this happens. luckily he's getting that clippers moneyyyy aahahh. kinda like rhett bomar for oklahoma, playin QB and getting bounced out and finished school at Sam Houston
  • xraycat replied June 04, 2009

• jaymz77 said June 04, 2009

  Edgar Padilla and Carmelo Travieso were his gaurds.......I loved watching that team play.
