Hopefully, Jim Calhoun Will Finally Get His Due.

This thread is about Jim Calhoun. For the umpteenth time, nobody is disputing that you all have a good basketball program. Your football program is a dumpster fire, that is what I am saying. That, and you all will likely never reach Atlanta. Clear now?

Atlanta? Who cares.. USC has been to it once and the your basketball program hangs NIT banners, thats amazing. UK basketball > USC football & basketball

Calhoun has 3 national titles. How many does Cal have?

Calhoun's resume is more impressive (and he's been coaching longer), but I believe Calipari has Final 4's at 3 different schools. That's incredible.

What two other schools? Only one is Kentucky.

For now.

Pearl - Good coach who cheated.
Calhoun - Good coach who cheated but wasn't dumb enough to get caught and last long enough at his school to build a National Championship program.

For the record, I hope Calhoun gets his due as well. I hope the NCAA removes his tourney visits and championships. Doesn't change that he is still a good coach.

Yes it is. Especially since 2 of the schools were nobodys that he built from the ground up.

For now. Either way it's still a great accomplishment. Remember I was comparing Calhoun and Calipari, and Calhoun seems to be in a lot of hot water right now. Cal hasn't been directly implicated (as far as I know) with his programs' woes, but Calhoun has.

Calhoun is a liar.

Calipari is like Orgeron. He cheats so well that he will never be caught.
Worldwide Wes becoming an agent showed everyone that cal does not need a bag man any more because he cheated so well that now without cheating he can keep it rolling.

UMass I'll agree but Memphis isn't a nobody in terms of basketball. The city is a crime ridden cesspool but the school does have some bball tradition. They pay the coach relatively well & there is local talent to recruit.
