Consider the source. Goodman broke the story of the "infraction" because he is the one who notified the NCAA. He is an Arizona alum and close friend to Lute Olsen. Gaddy de-committed from Arizona when Pastner joined the Memphis staff as the head recruiting assistant this summer. If Gaddy comes to Memphis, it will be because of Pastner and Cal not Broznek. He's more interested in being a one and done than working at FedEx.

Broznek had no idea he was committing any infraction. Just congratulating an employee on her sons success. No job promotion, no raise, nada.

Goodman all but admitted on Memphis radio yesterday that he and Calipari have a feud because of the negative information he was feeding 08 recruits Ebanks and Negedu about the Tiger program during their recruitment this summer.

Funny how this phone call gets more run than Mario Chalmers' father getting an assistant's position with Kansas 2 months after he signs his letter of intent.

That's because the phone call is an NCAA violation and the hiring isn't. It's not complicated.

You don't become a man in his position and be considered stupid. Did he make a bad decision? Yes.

Theres alot of people right now thinking he did something stupid . He needs to keep his deep pockets away from recruits and their families . If he is as smart as some believe you would think he would know better , he had a copy of the rules .

Well, smart people do some really stupid things sometimes. Sometimes repeatedly based on my love life.

I'd say that Broznek- and the Tigers- got really, really lucky that Gaddy's mom thought so little about it that she didn't even mention it to him for ages. The potential creepy factor about that call is astronomical.

I mean, think about it. You're a low-level employee in a vast company, and one day the CEO calls you up acting buddy-buddy because your kid is considering going to a school he's a big fan of. There are just so many ways that call could have gone/ been taken wrong. There's not much difference between this and if he'd told her- innocently thinking he's being nice- that she ought to wear dresses more often because she's got attractive legs.

Thankfully, Gaddy and his mother, and Goodman confirmed the fact, didn't think much of it much less were troubled in any way. The opinion now is that it is purely a secondary violation- meaning no penalties- and the NCAA will just confirm that somebody is going to at least figuratively give doofus a swift kick in the ass.

The problem is going to be that this serves as a black check-mark on the Tigers, and the NCAA will look harder than normal at any future signs of poor control by Memphis, even ones that wouldn't be significant on their own.

Personally, I'm hoping Fred Smith overnights Broznek's viagra to a Zimbabwe pig farm and tells him to go fetch it.

You're overestimating the violation. FredEx will send him to bed without filet one night and everything will be fine.

You don't keep up with Memphis' coaching staff do you?
