Calipari is my hero!!! He is the modern day Wyatt Earp. He always knows when to get out of dodge. He is the perfect example of why you should cheat in life. Although he will never break the home run record, or have a baseball park section named after him, he still has managed to make himself the highest paid college coach in history. Who cares if he bends the rules, he's a winner. I grew up 20 minutes from Amherst and remember when he took off for the NBA and let Marchus Camby go down.

I still don't see what the big deal is about Twitter.

It is almost laughable to hear all the Coach Cal haters rush to quickly judge him guilty! The media, fans, and players like Calipari and that just doesn’t make Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, and the Memphis’ of the world happy! Get used to it… and what amazes me that our country the United States of America – which is suppose to be a country of honor, integrity, and compassion to our fellow man… not to mention being innocent until proven guilty – would allow the jealous, and misguided to set in judgment on another human being! Go ahead and take your shots now… if it makes you fell better!!!

I was serious about him being my hero. I wish he would come back to UMASS. Refuse to Lose!!!

THE NCAA REPORT ON MEMPHIS does not SAY MEMPHIS FAKED THE SAT... talk about bad reporting... slander it is
THe NCAA is saying the Rose had someone take the SAT test for him. Also, from teh Chicago Sun, another player also had the same person take the SAT for him, too.
The charge is not that Memphis knew about the sitaution, but that the student (ROSE) cheated. Memphis may be stuck with sanction even if they did not know.
''It is alleged that [blacked out] prospective men's basketball student-athlete failed to deport himself in accordance with the generally recognized high standards of honesty and sportsmanship normally associated with the conduct and administration of intercollegiate athletics for his knowing fraudulence or misconduct and administration of intercollegiate examination. Specifically, on [blacked out] an unknown individual completed [blacked out] SAT, with [blacked out] knowledge, which was used to obtain his admission into the institution and to certify his NCAA eligibility. [Blacked out] subsequently competed for the men's basketball team through the 2007-08 season, which included his participation in the 2008 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship

Eamon, if you paid attention to the reports you would realize that Calipari is not tied to this. Regardless, if you actually interpreted what the man said correctly you would realize that these allegation were placed on Memphis as of Jan. 16. UK asked the NCAA to clear Cal's name and they did. Basically saying that he was in the clear. Regardless Calipari knew that this information would hit the media after being hired for UK. He is simply stating his appreciation for the fans, and letting them know that bad publicity is not what he wants to bring to UK. He is saying this is a hard time because now even some UK fans will question his credibility which is absolutely insane for them to do, and he is thanking the Nation for sticking by his side. Don't waste your time writing another garbage blurb like this.
