Manhattan's coach doesn't get South Florida job because of UK Lie

[Hoosier_Vol]

Interesting story developing here...

Manhattan coach Steve Masiello never graduated from the University of Kentucky, as indicated on his resume, and his falsifying this information eliminated him from getting the University of South Florida job, multiple sources told ESPN.com on Wednesday.

South Florida Bulls kill coaching deal with Steve Masiello for lying on his resume - ESPN

Haha. What an idiot

 

[Spartacavolus]

Would be something if he was like one or two elective walking or gym classes away from it.

I'm curious...who are some famous coaches with no degree?

Edit: They don't have to be famous.

 

[vols-1]

He should just get an online degree.

 

[govols120]

Manhattan should take him back while they're at it. Dude's a great coach, just needs a U of Phoenix degree.

The local media had him hired, just waiting on the announcement. Woke up this morning to "oops".

Yeah, I live here too and they kept announcing him being hired and the extension of Gators coach Billy Donovan all day yesterday.

Nobody actually "graduates" from UK. Just a little technicality

Didn't get to see it this morning, that's what I get for leaving to get to work early. I am going to mess with the USF folks at work this afternoon.

Actually, its the reverse. Everyone on the basketball team "graduates" from UK!!!

How, after the George O'Leary fiasco, does stuff like this go unnoticed for so long?

Seeing as how UT has declined in the past to make their basketball student GPA's public to the SEC, I'd say none of you are the leading authority on the subject.

 

[volfanCLT]

Manhattan placed him on administrative leave while they review his degree from UK. Not a good look for him.

At U of L he was on staff as a Graduate Assistant, so I'm guessing that he lied to get that position too. Doesn't Louisville check transcripts? When asked about it earlier today, U of L officials stated that they could not find his personnel file.

LOL.

Some things you don't lie about- academic honesty is one, especially if you are presenting false credentials to another institution of higher learning.

Pelphrey from UF appears to be next on the radar.

They kept saying during Manhattans last game that him and Petino were good close friends. Any chance Rick just hired him because there were close without anyone actually checking his background?

Along with UK assistant Orlando Antigua.

 

[McCat]

Antigua > Pel.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Lies associated with UK? Never would have guessed.

What a gigantic step down

One Arky reject not enough.

Did they see what he did at Arkansas?

Actually, its the reverse. Everyone on the basketball team "graduates" from UK!!!

And in only 1 year in most cases --

 

[Hardwood_fanatic]

Word is, Kentucky assistant Orlando Antigua has been hired as the new coach.
