Haha. If you are believing that these things are actually happening at UCLA and Kentucky like you've been told I think I have a bridge I'd like to sell you...

Book mostly focus on the Neuheisal's days at the University of Washington, but it does have some info on some of his practices when he jumped ship from a violation ridden Husky program to UCLA. I suggest it actually, it's a fascinating read. I had the opportunity to interview one of the authors, Ken Armstrong. He had some bone chilling stories of negligence and turning a blind eye that would just make your skin crawl. He is of the opinion that while Neuheisal was one of the worst dirtbags...some of his practices are much more common than any of us would like to believe.

Believe it or not, I don't just make sh*t up. And I don't just listen to the bums on the street. Rick Neuheisal is one of the dirtiest coaches in the history of college athletics. To me, it says a lot about an athletic program if they were willing to hire this scumbag, knowing what he did while at Washington. I don't have any information about the basketball team practices, but if they were willing to put up with Neuheisal's crap ...I can only imagine what they would allow their storied basketball program to get away with.

Like I said, I believe that stuff was at Washington.  There was no shortage of people not thrilled with Rick being hired at UCLA, a program desperate for some good news.  Rick wasn't it.

At any rate, one of the criticisms of him in the book didn't seem to manifest itself in Westwood, maybe that's why he failed there, because he couldn't get away with the same stuff....was he perfect, clean, etc?  I doubt it.  Was UCLA willing to forgive more quickly because he was an alum?  Probably.
