Larry Brown turns 75 today.

And he celebrated by racking up some recruiting violations hahah

[LIHoosier 27,391]

@UKCoachCalipari: Fantasy camp ends this afternoon. After that I'm on a plane to recruit. YAY!!! Over the next two weeks it's time to find out who wants this.

Such a recruiting advantage UK has on so many levels.

Everybody wants money. That's not too hard to find out.

Illinois just picked up a commitment from 3-star PG Tejon Lucas. Didn't have much of a backup plan for Xavier Simpson, it seems.

Getting a low/unranked PG because you have no backup plan? That must be embarrassing for a program.

Love subtle humor!

Oh man, if that's the punishment for improper academic aid for one student then UNC better be prepared!

 

What? Oh, UNC makes piles of money for the NCAA and SMU doesn't? Well, maybe just a slap on the wrists then.

3 schools and 3 NCAA sanctions.  I think he should be banned altogether from coaching college b-ball.  And if he leaves SMU, I've no doubt there will be yet another college stupid enough to take him on as a coach.

Agreed.  Like a 3 strikes and your out type policy for coaches.  I'd be onboard with this.

Ehh I bet SMU is still pretty happy with their decision. Sure they have a postseason ban, but they weren't relevant at all before Brown came along.

[Hoosier2014 289]

I mean heck Sampson got a 5 year ban for commiting phone call violations at 2 schools. Definitely think Brown should be shown the door.

Great article by Dana O'Neil on ESPN.com   http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/13771620/smu-basketball-coach-larry-brown-gets-punished-yet-again

 

He had already left Kansas and UCLA before the excrement hit the fan but probably due to his age, he's lost a step or two and he wasn't quite quick enough to get away from SMU.  Best quote from O'Neil's article to me "...At least this time he'll have to look seniors Nic Moore and Markus Kennedy in the eye when they are denied their shining moments."

[Crimson and Cream 5,878]

Moore can transfer here for his last season. Come home, start at point guard for an amazing fanbase and help lead us to a banner.

From the way I read it, Brown is suspended for 30% of the season, which comes out to 10 games.

Calipari is the young version Larry Brown.

[Kepner 1,261]

Calipari is the young version Larry Brown.

Barely, he is just as seasoned in the cheating realm with UMass and Memphis. When he ends up leaving Kentucky, it will all come out
