Comparing Calipari to Pitino?

Funny but wasn't the Derrick Caracter story the same as Wall?

Deener was pointing out how Caracter had esentially the exact same issues when he arrived on campus. Said he had to pay back some money, sit out 3 games, and all was good. He kept talking about how if that was a non-issue, then there is no reason to blow this up unless more facts come out.

In other words - When UL was in the exact same position with Caracter, it was a simple fix. Now when UK is in the same boat, UL's PR rep (4d) makes it national news and Wall should be declared inelligible, Calipari should be banned from the sport, and UK should suffer the death penalty.

If it weren't so sad, it would be funny.

Funny but Calipari never did any of this

1977 N.C.A.A. report on sanctions against Hawaii that implicated Pitino in 8 of the 64 violations that led to the university being placed on two years' probation.

The violations involving Pitino included providing round-trip air fare for a player between New York and Honolulu, arranging for student-athletes to receive used cars for season tickets, and handing out coupons to players for free food at McDonald's.

He was also cited, along with the head coach, Bruce O'Neil, for providing misinformation to the N.C.A.A. and University of Hawaii officials.

The N.C.A.A. committee on infractions recommended in 1977 that Pitino and O'Neil be disassociated from Hawaii athletics.

I also find this Pitino Quote Hilarious
"Pitino reiterated his point that his family would be the overridding consideration in his decision.

''The most important things in my life are my three young boys and my wonderful wife,'' he said, ''and I'm trying to make a situation where they have roots. Wherever I'm going, someday, I want to stay for a long, long period of time, because I've moved around quite a bit, and I'm tired of moving. I want my children to go through high school with their friends, grammar r school with their friends and have a good, stable life"
Wonder if Karen Sypher knew this?
