I don't blame him for taking the money at all, but i honestly think he could have done better than State! That was my point. He leaped at the very first chance he had. If he knew the stuff at Louisville was coming down that would make perfect sense. Fair or not, he's part of the Pitino coaching tree and was there during the time in question. Looking the other way on things sometimes is just as bad as being involved. To think he was there during all that and didn't know anything is naive.

For a while we didn't discuss this because he was our active coach. Now, he's moved on. Obviously those questions are still looming over, and while we didn't want to diss our own program as a result, we all still wondered. At one point we had a JMU poster (I'm pretty sure it was a JMU'er) that came over and tried to slime our program (because of the Keatts connection and the poster's perceived suspicions of how we came across Flemmings) after the first big Louisville scandal involving prostitutes for recruits/players. We shut that down pretty quick.

For the record, I don't think our program has ever been dirty or close to it. However, I don't necessarily disagree with the folks that think Keatts might have known more about some of those things (particularly the Adidas scandal) at Louisville.

This is going to be a touchy subject, so if you're going to post about it just please keep in mind other people's opinions and do so with civility. Not that we don't usually, but just a reminder as we have some new posters recently.

Cheers and go Seahawks!
