I hear a lot of Crean bashing through all of this. He was an awful "in game coach" that much is true, however if we come out of this clean then I think we owe him a lot more gratitude than he's gettin

Filed to CBS Sports: One of the coaches impacted the most in the FBI investigation sits in a studio and doesn't coach basketball.

Sounds like that might be a prominent analyst rather than a prominent coach. I could be wrong.

I'm thinking it's not referencing Crean, but who?

Anyone else get the feeling the NCAA tipped off the FBI because of how the Louisville strippergate was handled by Louisville and they were frustrated they couldn't pin Louisville better than they did.

The other connections were collateral damage of the investigation.

This has been going on for years. The NCAA knew what was going on. The FBI wouldn't get involved without a tipoff. So, why now? And ironic Louisville is getting the brunt of it all.

Thoughts?

This fell into the FBI's lap after nailing someone on Wall Street for an unrelated matter who decided to talk. NCAA was not involved.

In the wake of Roy Williams' "I'm shocked" statement, interesting piece from Yahoo Sports discussing Roy's selective amnesia.

This is the dirtiest coach in college basketball imo. He has more infractions than Calipari and is still being investigated. The minute he gets busted (again) will be a very happy moment for me.

Speaking of good ole Roy they landed Nassir Little today. He was the top recruit that likely would have committed to AZ without the allegations out there about offering $$$ for his services. Was heavily considering Miami as well so this kid was obviously involved with a lot of this activity. With the door open, UNC spoops in and picks him. Little mentioned UNC was the school he wanted to go to all along. Highly doubt that.

So they say. It would never be admitted. Ever.   Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

 

 

 

 "Fell into their lap" is NOT accurate. Some agents go their whole career without anything good "falling into their laps."

 

Truly effective law enforcement officers think of everyone they meet as an opportunity to leverage information into valuable intelligence and another great case. And that includes defendants from the case they're finishing. Crappy law enforcement officers treat defendants like crap, and therefore seldom learn anything from them.

And when undercover FBI agents are involved, it is highly, highly unlikely that an unaffiliated regulatory agency such as the NCAA would ever be invited into the process. That would be a risk to agent safety, the covert operation, and the secrecy of the federal grand jury.

It's been on record that this stemmed from a completely unrelated/non-sports investigation. They weren't looking for it.

Furthermore...There is no way the FBI would include the NCAA in this investigation.  The NCAA isn't a law enforcement agency.

I'm beginning to think that unless some of these other schools broke an actual law we may never hear about their corruption. NCAA doesn't have the tools or authority the FBI has.

We're going to have to rely on the Lawrence Franks of the world to wiretap locker rooms.

Every top program that’s been cheating is gonna keep cheating. Hell with all that Louisville has done, they’ll probably be back in the tittle picture within in 4-5 years. I just have no faith in the NCAA doing anything about this. We’ll keep losing kids to colleges that are cheating and that’s how it’s gonna be.

I only hope one day ole roys luck runs out and he gets nailed like Pitino. I doubt it though.
