Any way you look at it, it's still an apples and oranges argument, as we are talking about two distinctly different games. Besides that, Mr. Wooden is in the Hall of Fame as both a player and a coach. Take that, Geno. Quite your whining, while you are at it, try to show some dignity. You know, like Mr. Wooden.

Shame on you ESPN...for putting that shit on the front page of your site...and talking about it at all...I wouldn't watch women play if they played naked...
yeah I would..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment

I don't find the lining of pockets relevant to today's basketball, because it happens at every university today. I guarantee you that if you did off the boards homework at any major university (Duke included) today, you could find someone that knows of someone getting paid. It's a fact of life. What's amazing is that it only slips out a couple of times a year...if that. Boosters did this at every school, and trust me when I say that in nearly every year that UCLA won a title, there were other teams with talent as big and bad as they. Maybe not as consistent over the years at UCLA because of the draw at the time...but they were there...for sure.
As for Coach K, do you really think that the well padded pockets of the Duke boosters don't pad the pocket of Duke's recruiting classes year after year? What about Roy Williams and UNC? If there is a major university without this shit going on?
Now, I do agree with you that Coach K may be just as good a coach...but I don't think you can knock Wooden for practices that were running balls out wild all over the country. Living here in Tobacco Road, there are rumors yearly about all these fucking coaches and their boosters. 15 years from now, I guarantee you that some names will pop up, as they do for nearly every coach, of boosters they likely had nothing to do with. Players wanted to play for Wooden, and it didn't hurt that they got paid to do it. The only difference between UCLA and say...Bumfuck University is that the houses and cars they got didn't come with John Wooden at practice...
You wanna piss a UCLA fan off...mention Wooden being a cheat...lmfao...you'd think you walked over his open grave..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands.

It is a crock of shit. It would be like comparing the WNBA to the NBA. No comparison at all.The competition isn't as great. You don't have the amount of great teams and great players in women's basketball as compared to men's and while I have no problem with the streak being talked about, to compare it to one of the greatest streaks in men's sports is just idiotic. Uconn was getting plenty of press and coverage on ESPN about the streak without the jackass coach running his mouth. Now that he opened his yap I think even more people really don't care now, he should have just kept his mouth shut.Comment

I would love for Bobby Knight to open up about this shit...I can't fathom he'd have many nice things to say about that fucking piece of shit..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands.

After watching ESPN's 30 on 30 about SMU football the other day, I am not so sure the "everyone cheats" argument is valid. Alot do, mostly thru boosters obviously. But most boosters can't keep their mouths shut. It's human nature. Word would get out and all you need is one disgruntled recruit to run to the media and its over. Could you imagine the field day the media would have if there was a sniff of impropriety at Duke or UNC. Look at what they did to Indiana over a few phone calls.
As far as Wooden goes, I am not saying he cheated, he knew Sam Gilbert or anything. All I am saying, if someone were to pay the best high school players in the country to play for me., I'D be a genus too."Don't try to confuse the issue with half truths and gorilla dust." - Bill NcNealComment
