Title: coaches poll on biggest cheaters (sys candy thread)
Post by: felix rex on August 13, 2012, 02:54:10 AM: Quote
The question: Who is perceived by college coaches to be the biggest cheater in the sport?

John Calipari (Kentucky): 36 percent
Scott Drew (Baylor): 34 percent
Ben Howland (UCLA): 12 percent
Jim Calhoun (Connecticut): 7 percent
Tom Crean (Indiana): 3 percent
Dave Rice (UNLV): 3 percent
Others receiving votes: Too many to list.

Quotes that stuck:

On John Calipari: "Cal probably doesn't have to cheat now as much as he used to, but he's still the standard. The rest of us can't even deal in his league. He's the best."

On Scott Drew: "I don't even have to blink when I say the answer. He's despised by a lot of people because he comes off holier than God. Meanwhile, everyone knows he's had to cheat big-time to get the program to where it's at. If it wasn't for the God stuff he wouldn't rub people the wrong way as much."

Post by: ChiComCat on August 13, 2012, 12:22:33 PM: I don't think others see Self as the threat that they do Drew/Cal. Nowadays, Self just gets the top tier leftovers (qualification risks/amateur status risks/character problems) that other programs don't go after.
