And Laley, I'm not bashing IU. Not at all. I don't fault a coach really for a kid drinking, smoking weed, banging chicks, etc. It's part of college.

My point was, imagine if guys with the character of Jameis Winston were making headlines at UK under Calipari's watch. It would be unbearable PR.

I doubt he makes it past this year.

They didn't put up with Sampson, and he had a winner. They won't put up with Crean, even if he was winning.

I know its hypothetical, and most probably think he isn't in the hot seat if they were better. But, seeing it first hand, the fans just refuse to have a coach who let's players break rules and break the law.

They got spoiled with Knight in that regard, and unfortunately, might be a reason why IU won't be able to be great consistently again. In the current world, you gotta have a loose leash.

Georgetown, Louisville, SMU, Pitt and Butler.

Yeah, they had 2 strong seasons with that great class he had but he should be able to win 20 in his sleep at IU with the creampuff schedule OOC.

I give him credit for taking the program, turning it around and making them relevant again. This was a make or break year to see just what he is made of. Did he just get "lucky" to land a few guys who propelled them or is the type that can build and maintain a top program. This drug stuff.............tightens his leash.



.and he needs to stop kissing dudes on the lips. That is creepy.

Only thing that would make this better is if High Point or UCSB were in there.
