Bill Walton and Kevin Harlan are without question the best ever at calling bad games, of which there are many

i wouldn't have pegged matt as a walton fan. vitale is really bad too. i thought walton was fine 15 years ago doing the nba, but i can't listen to him for more than 30 seconds now.

The only time I disliked Walton is when he called games with Snapper Jones and they spent half the game flirting

From the 2017 DRAFT thread, but needs to be said again:

Brey's coaching success seems to be coupled with midlife crisis

Perhaps related to mindset required to motivate college male athletes

meeting my brother in vegas next week. How does ilx feel about gonzaga this year?
― Sufjan Grafton, Sunday, 12 March 2017 04:36 (seven years ago) link
imo Zags are no better than an Elite Eight team. Well coached, as always, with good talent, but insufficient quickness or rebounding to break into the Final Four. but predicting the NCAA tournament is always a crap shoot.
― a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Sunday, 12 March 2017 04:43 (seven years ago) link
haven't seen them play but my eternal instinct is to discount west coast teams, particularly those who, like gonzaga, have played essentially no close games
so yeah they'll probably win i guess
― mookieproof, Sunday, 12 March 2017 04:45 (seven years ago) link
I never know what to do with gonzaga or teams in the new big east

I'd definitely believe this could just be the start. There has been shoe contract/AAU shenanigans happening for 30+ years. I'm sure eventually something with the Nike schools is to come. There has been allegations around the Nike/AAU for decades but nothing ever happened.
Then again, North Carolina got off pretty much with nothing considering how much academic fraud their sports programs were doing.

I'd figure something will happen with football next.
― earlnash, Wednesday, 27 September 2017 01:07 (six years ago) link
penn state football and carolina both got off easy, but i don't think those investigations involved the feds?
(the former should have been burned to the ground and had its fields salted)
at a certain point, though, there's so much money involved that it will be worth it for schools to end the charade and leave the ncaa -- unless they're too afraid to so blatantly profit off unpaid athletes

Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino, who has been placed on unpaid administrative leave amid a federal investigation into fraud and corruption, is the "Coach-2" who played a role in funneling money to a recruit, a source confirmed to ABC News on Thursday.According to court records, Christian Dawkins, the former agent for ASM Sports who was charged in both parts of the college basketball case, told the cooperating witness, Marty Blazer, that he helped funnel $100,000 to the family of recruit Brian Bowen "at the request of a coach," identified as "Coach-2."CBS first identified Pitino as "Coach-2" on Thursday.Court records also said Adidas executive Jim Gatto "spoke directly with Coach-2 multiple times in the days before [Bowen] publicly committed" to Louisville.During a meeting in a hotel room in Las Vegas on July 27, which was recorded by video cameras placed in the room by the FBI the day before, Dawkins, Jonathan Brad Augustine (the director of a Florida-based AAU program) and an undercover agent discussed how to pay $100,000 to the family of Bowen, a highly recruited player from LaPorte, Indiana, who had recently committed to play for Louisville, which has a shoe and apparel contract with Adidas.Because two Adidas employees involved in the scheme were having difficulty getting the money, they wanted to funnel the payments through Augustine's AAU program, which was sponsored by Adidas. At one point during the conversation in the hotel room, according to FBI documents, Augustine allegedly said, "No one swings a bigger [expletive] than [Coach-2] at [Adidas]" and added "all [Coach-2] has to do is pick up the phone and call somebody, [and say], 'These are my guys; they're taking care of us.'"
