This guy is a chipwich. He was John Calipari before there was a John Calipari. Hey Larry, go to a Big East school other than UConn and get them on probation so we have one less team to compete with.
Chipwich.

Can Larry still coach? MJ fired him and They are both from that North Carolina University family so there had to be some problems for them to part in the middle of the season.

He’s probably just musing; plus he’s 70 years old and do you really think some 17 year old hot shot’s parents will want to take a shot on him packing his bags and leaving in the middle of the season? Some school might take a flyer on him; but I doubt if he can be successful in the college ranks again.

Meanwhile Coach K signs a LIFETIME coach, so he’s getting paid millions until he walks away. Calhoun gets millions, they all get millions. I wonder what their living arrangements are. I wonder what their kid’s private school arrangements are.

I can go get a Kemba Walker jersey for $75 and who gets that money? Some dude sitting in an office, while Kemba is the one that’s carrying the team into the tournament.

“Especially for the 99% of college athletes who never make a dime professionally.”
Exactly. Yet their coachs, schools, conferences, and TV make millions.

Yeah, a completely free 4-5 year ride, with better living arrangements than other students, much better eating arrangements, all the academic support you can eat…What a ripoff. Especially for the 99% of college athletes who never make a dime professionally.

This guy is the coaching version of “on and done”.

‘Look, I know you want to be in the NBA and I’ll get you ready. But nothing bad ever came from getting a degree. Let’s have something to fall back on.’”

Translation: I want to exploit your talents for 4 years while I, the university, ESPN, NCAA, CBS, TNT, TBS, etc makes millllllllllllllions and you make nothing.
