it's like inviting the devil to your dinner party.  it's bad enough that bruce pearl's team is still in it. 

i guess if you have to pick one, maybe you have to rely on conference affiliation.  it still makes me sick.

I don't know what all the hate is for Calipari...

Does the man cheat his butt off in recruiting, yes.. but to tell you the truth, it would be hard to find a team out there that is clean in recruiting.

I will presume you were not being facetious (no teal).

The hate is because it appears he cannot be pinned down on anything.  He has coached two teams that had Final Fours vacated yet a guy like Sampson is out of coaching.  He is like Al Capone who everyone knew what he was up to, but they couldn't make any charges stick.

Because Huggins was clean at Cinci and now WVU... please, every coach has infractions, some get caught... some don't.

I don't think many like Huggins.  I don't see why that supports your argument for not hating Calipari.  More than enough room to hate more than one coach in CBB.

Because the reason why people hate Calipari is a reason that you could say about every coach.

Does Calipari cheat on recruiting... yes... does he, himself (not the teams) get away with it?  Yes, Hate the teams for constantly shoveling money in his pockets for these immoral acts, not him.

If I could be a millionaire doing what he does... I would in a heart beat.

For some it is not all about finding any way possible to make a big pile of money.
