coaches poll on biggest cheaters (sys candy thread)

[felix rex]

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."

I would be proud to have any of those coaches at K-State.

I never realized that Dave Rice is a cheater, but this thread has me excited that maybe he will still be obtainable when we fire oscar in a few years.

Surprised to not see Slick Rick Pitino on that one.  Like I always figured he would be right behind Calipari if a poll like this ever came out.

[Dugout DickStone]

Should add Frank Haith.

Self cheats his ass off and I resent this fluff piece not giving him his proper due.  Other coaches just snubbed him because they are jellys.

[ChiComCat]

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.

Surprised about Tom Crean, but it makes me like him even more.

[Emo EMAW]

Surprised about Tom Crean, but it makes me like him even more.

Think it's because he cheats on his wife.

[LickNeckey]

Calipari doesn't cheat.

You're dumb.

Howland cheats, is at an elite bb school and his teams have sucked in the last few years
