Somebody asked why an NBA team would give Calipari a second chance after he didn't do so well on his first chance.

Well, Pitino got a second crack at the NBA and Carlesimo got a second AND third crack at the NBA.

Calipari would be seen as a big-name hire, especially by a franchise such as the Knickerbockers, who love to make big-name hires.

Lesson: Don't try to use logic. It doesn't work.

Related note ...

The NCAA now has a 30% graduation rule or you cannot play in the tourney.  Uconn is getting pinched which is why they are ineligible for post season next year.

NCAA rule says if a player leaves early for the NBA, he doesn't count so long as he finishes the semester.  So as long as Kentucky players finish with a D- in basket weaving and then goes pro early, Kentucky is in the clear.  Keep the kid for four years and he comes up three credits short of graduating, then you risk getting banned from the tourney.

If their 1 Sr left on the squad didn't graduate the whole school would be screwed.

I heard on WFAN (NYC sport's radio) yesterday that a source inside the Knicks says they are very interested in pursuing Calipari.  The universal opinion is that it's a horrible move but the Knicks are always looking for a "splash".

"I've always said I have more money than I can spend, than my children can spend," Calipari said. "It's not about that."

Calipari has coached a number of first-round draft picks in his three seasons at Kentucky -- DeMarcus Cousins, John Wall, Eric Bledsoe, Patrick Patterson, Daniel Orton and Brandon Knight. Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, and possibly Terrence Jones, Doron Lamb, Marquis Teague and Darius Miller could join them from this past season's team.

No wonder Kentucky won, they play drafted NBA players!!!

There's a period after Brandon Knight, signifying the beginning of a new thought.  Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist are guaranteed first rounders this year, so, within the new sentence relating this year's players to the drafting success of prior talent, they are separated from the other potential first rounders.

You're correct, When I read it earlier, I saw that period as a comma.

I figured as much, and wasn't trying to be a dick.  I just really felt like diagramming a sentence.

Periods.  Commas.

They're, their, there.

Gerunds.

In the offseason, this board can teach some valuable English lessons.

My cousin and his wife and her whole family are UK alums and huge supporters.  I asked them how they felt about the assumption that Kentucky is cheating and their response was, oh we know it goes on but don't care because we won the national championship.  Plus they think the cheating is pretty covert so it'd be tough to prove it enough to take away the NC.  Very matter of fact, it was kind of funny.

I've gotten to the point where I want some huge scandal now because the NCAA is so fouled up we need something catastrophic to blow the whole thing up and start over.

If MU was cheating and won the national title I also would not care because they NCAA might take away that title, but guess what....I was still there watching it happen with my own eyes, and Marquette still gets to benefit from the title run.

Gluttony at it's finest.

You'll love it while you are doing it (even though you know it's wrong).

You'll hate yourself for it later.
