Before a rapt audience Thursday night, Knight tried to make it sound as though he was the one too good for the game, when actually the game's grown too good for him. The days of coaches abusively treating players and fans and administrators is coming to a close. Ask Mark Mangino, the former football coach at Kansas. He, too, has some time on his hands.
I have no argument with his comments on Knight. I've always hated the guy and still do. But it's always so easy to attack the messenger and try to devalue his message. They have no real answer for Calipari's reputation and perception in the NCAA basketball community.
Even the video interview with Calipari is amusing to watch. The first question he is asked after explaining his apparent recent "angry practice" with his players is "When NCAA problems come up, how accountable is the head coach?" Check it out at the :35 mark! Hilarious!!
A bit of Cals Q and A
Q: How accountable is the head coach?
A: Next Question
Q: ?said you operate in the gray areas..
A: Next question
Cal is in for it lol
I guess there is no Geoff Calkins in Lexington or a Chris Vernon for that matter. And Whinebooger called the CA a bunch of "homers"? Go figure!
There's no question this is bothering him. I've never seen him not have a rebuttal.
Maybe the sweat he was experiencing was not just due to physical activity.
The criticism toward Calipari would have more validity from someone like Wooden. Bobby Knight has his own issues causing detriment to the game.
Lexington's rebuttal = Memphis' rebuttal pre April 2009

thanks for the post and for the analysis which was right on. Shoddy journalism at its best, dont explain , just shoot the messenger. I don't see Cal getting the kid glove treatment from the national media that he recieved at that press conference either
Next question........Next question........
What a piece of sh1t.
It is not unusual for people to experience sweating in moments that bring about a degree of anxiety. The sweat may begin to pour when preparing to deliver a speech or face an audience in any manner, or come about due to being anxious during a job interview. Sweating is a perfectly natural reaction to any situation that causes distress. Here is why you sweat when you’re nervous.
There are actually two distinct sets of nerves that send signals that trigger activity in the sweat glands. The sympathetic nerves carry neurotransmitters that stimulate the production of sweat. Parasympathetic nerves carry different neurotransmitters that signal the glands to cease and desist in the production of sweat.
Many different situations trigger the activity of the sympathetic nerves. Exercise, a warm climate, high humidity, and even foods loaded with extra spices may cause the nerves to send signals to the gland to begin producing fluid. This is an attempt to restore the body to what is perceived as a normal or resting state.
Of particular note is that the sympathetic nerves are also triggered when an individual becomes nervous for any reason. This is a part of the body’s unconscious protection process, known as the fight or flight response. You sweat when you’re nervous because your body perceives you may have to begin moving quickly. The sweat is present to lubricate areas where skin will brush against skin, and also to cool the overall shell of the body so you do not overheat during the activity.
In short, you sweat when you’re nervous because your subconscious mind perceives an impending danger of some type and reacts to prepare your body for the battle that is about to begin. This process may activate due to a real or a perceived threat. That is why people who experience anxiety disorders or panic attacks often begin to sweat just as readily as someone who finds himself face to face with an armed robber.

might as well throw in Gene Bartow and Dean Smith if we are wishing, It is hard to think of anyone else Id put on that list, Surely there are more retired coaches who are well thought of.
I love the added scrutiny and heat being put on Guido Calipari. The only problem is it just fuels his "It's us against the world" act. He motivates very talented teams by making them feel like the underdog when they are not. "You are either with us or against us", Kentucky is winning so it bringing out "the miserables", etc. Listening to him is like watching an old movie again or having flashbacks of an old accident. Everybody nationwide is on to him this time because they have watched his "show" before and now he is running it again at Kanetucky. He really needs some new material.

the difference (which is obvious to almost everyone) is that now Calipari has had
another season vacated.
when he was at MEM, his only 'blemish' was Camby accepting benefits from an agent. Cal was never named or charged and you could certainly argue he had no knowledge.
however, the second time certainly indicates some sort of pattern. especially when it is coupled with the perception that Cal lives in the infamous 'gray area'.
either that or he is the unluckiest coach in the history of the ncaa.
i think i know which one it is.
"The days of coaches abusively treating players (and fans and administrators) is coming to a close."
They might want to explain that to their coach.
"Geoff Calkins in Lexington or a Chris Vernon for that matter. And Whinebooger called the CA a bunch of "homers"?"
I would take the guy Lexington over anyone of these three.

Ugggh, flashback to the first part of this semester of pharmacy school this year.
LMAO,LMAO,LMAO,LMAO,LMAO
I'm guessing whoever that guy was is going to lose his press pass. The same guy asked both ?'s and X "next questioned" him both times lmao. Can anyone tell us who is the guy is asking him the questions?

Perhaps...
But there are significant differences.
Prior to April 2009 many of these things had not happened:
A recruiting class paid for by Memphis was used to market for a job in KY.
LOI outs were made public.
A 2d Final Four was vacated.
A 2d highest profile recruit was busted under this coach.
Inexplicable disparaging remarks about Memphis were made.
Made publid that the AD was asked to keep a lid on the NCAA investigation (in order to get other escape job).
Throw in all of the above and Memphis does not support this in March 2009. At THAT time we had Marcus Camby- only- plus innuendos. Now we have a lot more- so I think March 09 defense was fair- people did not know then what they know now.

yes, that's Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald Leader - he's covered Cats basketball for nearly 30 years. Here is his blog today for the LHL - it would be in Cal's best interest to not get on the local media's bad side. Calkins' pen stretches far and wide.

So it looks like Kentucky Head Basketball Coach took a page out of the Drew Rosenhaus page with TerrelL Ownens interview playboook. When you do want to answer a question, deflect and go to the next question.

Calkins called for RC to be fired. Wolken broke the story about the NCAA investigation being hidden. How is that being homers?
