Who do you think is the most corrupt D1 College Basketball Coach?

[doublejs07]

Most coaches got a few skeletons in the closet....some, more than others....that being said, which coaches (in your opinion) just say +$*% it to integrity, andrun a corrupt program? I was just thinking about Todd Bozeman making his return to the NCAA's (not saying he is corrupt anymore), the stories about howBinghamton got DJ Rivera into their school (lowering academic standards), etc etc....who u got?

Hmm, I want to hear these stories

 

[ogbobbyjohnson773]

I want to hear some stories on what Jerry Tarkanian was doing

Obviously, not current...but we know that John Wooden was "corrupt", even though he is one of the greatest coaches of all time.

 

[mjd77]

Cant really think of any current ones. Was there "stuff" going on when Tom Penders got run out of Texas?...or was it just because all of the playershated him.

I know years ago there were always alligations about Arizona lowering standards to get players.

Preapre for the onslaught of "Calipari" replies.

 

[haiti5]

Bob Thuggins..he recruits right out of juvenile dentention centers

i think its more of the athletic dept. than the actual coaches too

It was bad enough to keep him out of the Hall of Fame.

Huggins and Calipari are the 2 worst.

Coach K.

Todd Bozeman's banishment from D1 coaching was comedy. They basically made him a martyr.

BOB HUGGINS aka THUGGINS

someone please whip out the statistics on the graduation rate of his players for Cincinnati who didnt play in the NBA.
it was like 5% or something like that SMH

 

[philballa09]

first time reading that

Wooden didn't buy recruits, all the claims came when the recruit was alreadyenrolled (what players dont get stuff from boosters now a days?)....Gilbert didn't get involved w/ ucla until Alcindor was a soph and if yall read his bookhe was St. John's bound. Coach left and he then went to UCLA because of Jackie Robinson.

He won his first national title w/ the tallest player being 6'5.

Kareem isn't even considered the bes UCLA Bruin of all-time. That goes to Bill Walton. That program has been shady since the early 60'ssir. Kareem and Walton even admitted to most of the allegations.

Question for the Cuse' heads here on NT....how much of Devendorf being reinstated was due to Boeheim's pull at the University?
