    Lute Olson passes away

    Thanks Lute. I hope Tucson/UA was able to show him how much he's meant--how grateful we are for the memories.

    NCAA Investigation

    No doubt. Until the report comes out about who actually did what beyond what the FBI has convicted, then I have no idea. Full Stop. All of that being said, we are talking about more schools than 13. I also count that if a coach goes to or sets up a meal specifically to discuss prices with...

    NCAA Investigation

    Good point. I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. You are talking about the schools indicted. I hear ya. But I'm also talking about the schools/coaches who put up bids or bought prior to the FBI investigation that is beyond their scope but still applies to the NCAA. The NCAA it...

    Pac 12 basketball

    The Pac is such a dumpster fire. I wouldn't be surprised if UW ends up winning the reg season, losing the tourney, and once again being the only team to win the reg season and not punch their ticket to March. Haha, so much to be proud of, for UW and ASU.

    Pac 12 basketball

    Damn, Phelps too? I just don't think they need to exaggerate much to get Miller out as HC. I get that they want to sensationalize shit, but there's more than enough that he fucked up that he's actually responsible for that I don't think it's long before they show him the door. How can he not...

    NCAA Investigation

    I just don't think there is a way out of this for the NCAA. Wasn't it like 30 schools that they said did something directly (in terms of participation), or at least bid on players? I'm seeing plenty of names on these lists. I think a few of them are in danger of legal exposure, but so many more...

    NCAA Investigation

    I agree with you rmilla. I think it'll be worse than one year, and it will extend to quite a few schools. I know they uncovered a bunch of free means and stuff and I'm not sure the reach will extend that far. But it's pretty clear to me that schools were bidding on top players which means there...

    NCAA Investigation

    I'd like to see it follow those doing the actual wrong-doing as well. And as much as I have sympathy for the players (and think they should have the least severe punishment) they still know they're getting paid. I think a few dozen programs were on the take and the FBI will uncover them even if...

    NCAA Investigation

    Hey Gato, good to see you on here. Yeah, it'll be interesting. I just think that with Book and Paternack paying players without Miller knowing is too much for me to believe. And again, it screams a lack of institutional control, regardless of if Miller knew or not. And Miller not reporting...

    NCAA Investigation

    Hey gents (and any ladies, of course), I'm back in the states for a bit so I thought I'd hop back on here a bit until I leave again. I'm still not following CBB anywhere close to where I have due to the investigations--and being out of the country. I was at a super bowl party catching up with...

    Top 5 Favorite Players from your Program

    Thanks man. I'm still in Guatemala and about to finish researching. Then on to writing. I'm dipping out to the jungle in northern Guatemala for a month, then home for Thanksgiving, back to Guatemala before Christmas until March, and then I'm going to make my way for a year through Central and...

    Top 5 Favorite Players from your Program

    What up gents? Hope you guys are doing well. And this is a great thread Eric. Tough one. As for my favorite players, and not the ones I think are the best, in my time following AZ: 1) Salim Stoudamire--I remember watching him launch 3s from the cactus logo on the old court. Him competing...

    Relapse May Be My Favorite Hip-Hop Album Ever

    I thought the record helped solidify him as one of if not the best pure lyricist in hip hop history. The way he uses rhyme schemes is ridiculous, and is why most of the best hip hop artists agree that he takes rhyming to another level all together. My favorite hip hop is when the artist offers...

    Top 5 Rappers by Region: East Coast, West Coast, Midwest, and the Dirty South

    Thanks man, no doubt. Same to you for sure. Soak up The Roots too, Black Thought is just in a category of his own. I didn't grow up hearing them as much as some others and still had them around the top five. I'm not a fan of the overwhelming majority of hip hop that came out in the last decade...

    FBI investigation: 20 programs named for players taking money

    Oh, okay, my bad. Just haven't heard you post much at all about the effects of this on the Pac as a whole, given AZ, WA, USC, and Utah are all wrapped up in this so far. Felt like the overwhelming majority were against AZ, and missing the extent that this is going to effect everything from...

    FBI investigation: 20 programs named for players taking money

    I get it, but then why wasn't Miller arrested in September? Why hasn't he been charged yet? Why wasn't it the FBI that officially named him even if they didn't arrest him? All of this points to the fact that there are more coaches that haven't been named yet, that are on those 3000 hours of...

    FBI investigation: 20 programs named for players taking money

    You do realize that if/when ASU gets caught up in this, rest assured that I'm going to be back here and make you choke on all the shit you've talked, right? And all of your shit talking also leads me to believe that your hatred for AZ is more than your love of CBB (since you care more about AZ...

    FBI investigation: 20 programs named for players taking money

    @Darrell Green Fan Yeah I feel like we’re talking past each other. I know for the most part you’re addressing derski’s post but I’m just saying I think it’s interesting that with 3000 hours of wiretapping and knowing there are more coaches, why Miller is the only one thrown to the wolves right...

    FBI investigation: 20 programs named for players taking money

    I hear you, and I think Derski is pretty hurt like all real AZ fans are. And Miller is guilty as fuck, for sure. But I think we'd be crazy to think that he's the only one. So why just him right now? Again, I don't think it's a conspiracy (fall guy) as much as someone having an axe to grind for...

    FBI investigation: 20 programs named for players taking money

    Why do you keep saying that AZ came out of nowhere and was a flash? Have you followed CBB for the last 30 years? AZ went to 24 consecutive tourneys with 4 FFs, a slew of EEs, P10 titles, an NC with another runner up. They were ranked continuously for over 300 weeks, and had like 60 draft picks...

    FBI investigation: 20 programs named for players taking money

    I think what he's referring to is the fact that they have 3000 hours of tape from the agent, and it only comes out that Miller is recorded talking money. Seems like there is a lot more evidence about other shit regarding this agent and other programs/coaches/players, but for some reason, the...

    FBI investigation: 20 programs named for players taking money

    Those examples you list on CBB were all either isolated incidences, or punished as such. The FBI has named more than two dozen programs, and also leveled federal charges of fraud to conspiracy, and they're nowhere even close to being done yet. Again, this can go as far as they want it to. The...

    FBI investigation: 20 programs named for players taking money

    I think I mentioned this in late September (but maybe on the AZ page) when the first group of programs were named. I felt the same way yesterday when the second batch came out, and I feel the same way after Miller got popped. I teach History at the UofA. Seeing the shit with UNC, Louisville...
