C'mon Gene you aren't new to this board, if a coach isn't hired in 24 hours it is a complete disaster and everyone is doomed
post gazette is gonna give benefit of doubt to psu every time.. but your point remains, whatever happened at vandy, nothing stuck to franklin..
well come on, pitino and his staff were getting recruits laid by hookers.. Do you think Rick was the one coordinating this or do you think it was the asst coaches?? You think this guy didnt' know it was going on??
lol, I am sure it was all just one coach's idea and no one else knew... The man took one for the team no doubt..
in all honesty, it really wouldn't bother me either. Prostitution is this country's oldest profession and it is a victimless crime..
A lot of money came from somewhere to pay for the strippers and hookers. More than from McGee's meager salary. SOMEBODY higher up knew. Tough decision to take a gamble and possibly end up with Mike Haywood, part 2.

The guy has 20 years of coaching experience. So when he was kicking Oak Hills ass in high school, what violation did he commit? So you are suggesting he needed prostituion to win? Really? The guy is a champion everywhere he went. He dominated at a military school. He was at Louisville for 3 years. After 2 final 4s and a national title. Maybe the guy is actually good at his job. Why don't you listen to the interview I posted instead of posting lame duck comments. Decourcy has known the guy for 15 years. You think he would stick his neck out for someone tied to a prostituion ring? Please.
Oak Hill? Who the f*ck cares about high school? he was an asst coach under pitino, the slimiest coach in the history of the game.. this guy very likely assisted with getting recruits laid by hookers.. I said I could care less, quit being so argumentative.
Let's put something in perspective--his record at Hargrave doesn;t mean much when it comes to his ability to coach an ACC basketball team. Hargrave was another Oak Hill--it was a prep school basketball factory that had top kids from all over the country like our very own Sam Young who were non-qualifiers and needed to prep a year. So let's not talk about the great coaching job he did at the prep school level with a totally stacked deck. What matters is what he did at UNCW, and what;s concerning is he has only done it for 2 years. he may be a great coach, but it;s a crapshoot to hire a guy with that little college head coaching experience under his belt. If he had several years of highly successful D1AA or D2 success before Wilmington, that would be something else.
I wasn't aware all elite recruit end up at hargrave. Really? Then why is Hargrave's basketball program sucking wind right now? Why aren't they winning national titles and going to the final 4 anymore? Only if it was that easy to be a national champion, everyone would be one. To bad they aren't. To bad they don't have anywhere neat the talent any more. See any hargrave kids in the top 100 right now? That's what I thought, zero. He recruits talent. Obviously they can't get the elite talent anymore. Obviously...
Was talking to Robby Carmody's grandfather the other day. He was just offered by Louisville. I said, "What do you think about the prostitutes?"
