Do I agree with everything Knight did........No not at all. But I will say I truely like the man. He goes too far sometimes but almost all of the kids he coached went on to great things in life that speaks volumes to me. I to like the old school I think it's much better than this............whatever it is they do now a days, lol.

Hey Don, Nancy Pelosi has never been completely caught at anything illegal but I bet you don't trust her. That's how alot people feel about Calipari,'' I refuse to call him ''Coach Cal'', that's just Gay. Time will tell and I don't wish bad on UK but with this guy I would be.....''Afraid Very Afraid'', matter of time in my opinion.

You got that right I don't trust NP at all!!

Smart move by Coach Cal....why get in a pissin' contest with a legend of the game. Just let it go and continue to do your job.

I agree with what Knight said. Everyone knows I'm a Card fan. As soon as I heard that Cal was becoming The UK coach I told all my UK buddies it is just a matter of time before UK is in trouble.

The ones that are not fanatic agreed with me and wish he was not the coach. The friends that are up in your face UK fans think he is the second coming.

Time will tell.

but not as much weight as his hands and arms when hes choking some kid out because he didnt get it right in practice.

Why is it that two years ago Cat fans didn't want Calipari and called him a cheat and a slime ball, but now he is clean and has never been linked to any NCAA violations.

I love Cats Pause

I personally wanted Cal since the day Pitino left

Neither UMASS nor Memphis were sited with any violations. Hence, how could Knight's statements not be slanderess.
Wouldn't surprise me if this wasn't staged.

It was at an Indiana University Hall of Fame function.......would Knight make this statement at any other venue? Maybe he was just trying to get a "cheap pop" from the crowd.

This is true because blame was pinned twice to both players be it Camby at U-Mass and Rose at Memphis. However both final fours were taken from the schools and Calimari, that makes a mark no matter what kinda spin you put on it.

Mafia Don's never know Nuttin bout Nuttin, fugetaboutit, Kapeesh, LOL.
