P.S.  Anyone who fails to realize that BCG way out coached pearl in their meeting down in Knoxville is delusional.

That is too bad for the kid.  With that said, we surely can't be talking about more than a couple of hundred dollars here, which looks like petty theft to me.  He isn't likely to do any jail time unless he has a record, and if he does, it wouldn't be more than a few months, I would think.

But what is a bit strange is that there was an indictment issued by a grand jury.  Usually, something like that would be investigated by the police and Carter arrested on an information rather than an indictment.  The fact that there is an indictment makes this look a bit more sinister than the facts seem to support, prima facia.

Theft by deception at $300 or less is a class A misdemeanor.  Above that, it is a class D felony.  

I don't love Bilas, but I do think he is pretty fair overall.  He was just wrong about Kentucky, and from what I see, he still is.

As for Syracuse fans, who can really blame them for thinking they were robbed?  They are fans.  If UK had not made it, we would be saying very much the same thing in reverse.

My opinion is that Kentucky deserved to get in based on their last 12 games, and others didn't for the same reason.  Bilas and others think the last game argument is bogus and shouldn't be considered.  I disagree, and the committee does, too.  And in the end, what the committee thinks is import is what is important, because they get to make the call.  You, me, Bilas and all the Syracuse fans in the country have exactly the same input into the committee's decisions.

Zero.

Fair is fair.

Besides, if one possesses sight, it is obvious a foul was committed. Anyone who states otherwise looks a bit foolish.

So Rick saying a foul was committed is nothing more than him stating the obvious.

But as you note, him even speaking about it makes one feel a bit better about him. Well....maybe not:)

I'm glad you like the site, and thanks for reading.  Glad you took the time to comment.

Oh well.  It is one heck of a jump from $150K/yr to $750K/yr.

If that is as competitive as Western can be salary-wise, I suppose they should just maintain a long list of promising young assistant coaches.

To bad no stats are kept for # of times one checks to see if anyone has posted anything new.

Roy Williams as the "Top Active Coach" is laughable. He can certainly recruit, which is a part of coaching, but his game coaching isn't the greatest in the world, in my opinion. With the talent he has accumulated, especially at KU, he should hve more FF's and National Titles.

Although, I do appreciate the Kansas choke job in '98 which opened the door for UK to win #7.

My opinion:

Tubby is too low, Rick is about right....15 years ago, Dixon is too low, Few too low, Gillispie too low, Donovan too high. Olson too high.

Where's Stallings? Stansbury is awfully good. Mike Andersen at Missouri is a very good coach(formerly of UAB), no Tony Bennett?

One could debate the list, and who should be on or off, and their placement, for days.

Thanks for the link.
