So the girl little leaguer said she wanted to play bball for Geno, so Geno calls her up to say attagirl for playing in the LL World Series. Some other NCAA WBB coach files a complaint with his conference, calling this a recruiting violation. Geno goes to his minions in the Con press to spread the word that this has happened to him, and what a heavy burden it is to be Geno. The NCAA slaps him with a low-level violation. The Con fans are out of their minds with their persecution complex.

What if Geno had never gone to the press with this? Who would even know about it? Would the NCAA have punished him? Would there be another issue reinforcing his cheatenous image? And also, what if he just quit cheating? :eek:lol::eek:lol:

Geno is like Kiffin and Dooley, nobody cares about them.

Still, a violation, though, right? He's an ******* and he'll be the first to admit it. I just don't like *******s.

Then he wouldn't be able to play the victim card which he loves to do. He loves to say things like male coaches have it harder than their female counterparts. Sure, it's ridiculous to report a call to a 13 year old (who probably won't even play D1 bball 6 years from now) but it's also ridiculous for a man in his 60's to whine as much as he does.

If only college athletic programs had an honest governing body that looked into complaints of violations. Oh, well. In another life, maybe.

Its a chicken shat move by whoever reported it, for sure. Nothing will come of it, Gennaro will take his win streak and dominant program and continue doing what he does, and life will go on, squawking from the peanut gallery and all.

I just heard about this yesterday while watching PTI on ESPN. According to the 2 hosts, Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon, this was a real chickens**T call by some vindictive coach (anonymous of course).
According to them, Auriemma cleared the call with his compliance office first and Mo'ne isn't even considered a prospect yet because of her age. They say the whole episode shows how inconsequential the NCAA is and there are a lot of Geno haters out there (oh my, what a surprise). Actually I never heard them come down on the NCAA like they did.
Is there something more to this story?

It's like getting caught by radar going a few miles over the speed limit. It feels petty, but that's just the way it is....If his people checked with compliance before the call and got the OK, then there must have been some kind of communication breakdown.

On the other side of the coin, if coaches are allowed to start calling children without consequence, they could call tee ball champions....A bit extreme example, but many UConner's are just as extreme with their witch hunt comments against the world.

Geno just working the crowd. So stupid.

I'd actually like Geno to get another violation and get the school put on probation! That would be great, then they couldn't go to the NCAA!

Nobody is getting a postseason ban for this incident, and the petty folks who reported it did so only to be a bother, not because legitimate wrongdoing had occurred.

Just to make sure the facts are correct Geno didn't call the girl, he called a senior LL official and asked him to relay a message of congrats to Mo'ne. The LL official responded by saying that she was there with him and it was the LL official who put her on his phone. This was like a recruiter going to a high school to see the coach about a player and running into the player "by accident" in the hallway. It happens all the time but unless it's a high profile coach it never gets reported to the NCAA.

But the bottom line is that the NCAA has developed this policy out of expedience. If you agree to admit to a secondary violation there will be no penalty. It makes the NCAA look vigilant while saving the member schools millions of dollars that would need to be spent if all these petty violations were actually investigated and hearings held.

NCAA and vigilant should never be used in the same sentence regarding any of their overreaching powers.
