Coaches get fired for repeating violations from one institution to the other. There is no way in the world Scott Drew would be fired from any major university after exceeding the text/call limit by one per day. I know you want this to be a major thing so you can point and laugh...but it doesn't appear it is.
Nah, not really. Not trying to laugh this time. Like I said, what they've done could be a revolution in recruiting strategy. Cheat, get players, deal with small punishment after you've already reaped rewards.
Just talked to my friend with the deepest contacts at BU... he says: 1. large majority of the texts and phone calls are from Damion McKinney to his best friend, who happens to coach an AAU team; and 2. the impermissible contact between Mulkey and Griner is that Mulkey sat with the Griners and talked about Baylor while watching their kids play together on an AAU team AFTER Griner had already committed to play for Baylor.
So the NCAA investigates for a few years and its texts and phone calls? This rule is being phased out beginning this summer.
I don't wish bad on any texas school. This is just my opinion. also they should no longer be allowed to have dudes on their ladies teams
The infractions are basically a non-story. It's quite obvious if you read connected people that nothing further is going to happen, in terms of sanctions. In bigger news, looks like Quincy Miller is returning to school. That's a huge, huge bonus for Scott Drew.
Lmao at Hank and Casey. I wonder how many times Hank can make himself look like a complete tard in this thread. SMH.
Yeah, you sure got me. I feel like such a fool! http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory/ncaa-puts-baylor-basketball-years-probation-16118183 NCAA Puts Baylor Basketball on 3 Years' Probation WACO, Texas April 11, 2012 (AP) The NCAA put Baylor on three years of probation Wednesday after an investigation turned up hundreds of impermissible telephone calls and text messages sent to prep recruits by coaches and assistants on the basketball teams. The violations were considered to be major infractions, and they were announced less than a week after the Lady Bears won the national championship with the first 40-0 season in NCAA history. I'll check back from time to time... -Hank
Oh, just in case you missed this part: "On the men's side, Drew will miss the first two Big 12 games of the season, recruiting visits were trimmed and he lost a scholarship this past season and in 2012-13. In addition, a former coach faces a one-year "show cause" order that effectively prevents him from coaching at an NCAA school." "The NCAA violations come nine years after Baylor basketball player Patrick Dennehy was found shot to death after he had been missing for six weeks. Teammate Carlton Dotson pleaded guilty to murder. The ensuing investigation uncovered NCAA violations, illegal tuition payments and unreported failed drug tests that led to the resignation of coach Dave Bliss, who was secretly recorded by an assistant coach of trying to persuade others to cover up misdeeds by portraying Dennehy as a drug dealer." Love you guys! -Hank
True, the sanctions were self imposed, which basically means Baylor got caught with their hand in the cookie jar and did the right thing about it. But you can't underestimate the fact that Baylor has just been put on 3 years probation by the NCAA. That's real, and it means they will be watching Scott Drew like a hawk now. Members of a coaching staff being given a "show-cause penalty" is nothing to write home about. It's about the worst thing the NCAA can do to an individual coach. It's the ultimate insult in the profession. Fun piece of trivia for you. Can you guess who has the longest show-cause penalty in all of basketball right now? Why it's none other than former Baylor legend Dave Bliss! Congratulations Bears. You keep it classy! I'll check back from time to time.... -Hank
Oh, just a couple more fun facts... There are currently only 3 division 1 schools in the nation where the men's and women's basketball teams are both on NCAA probation. Baylor is one of them! Baylor has also been on probation for roughly 12% of the last 53 years. That makes it the 14th dirtiest program in the nation during that time. Congratulations once again! See you next year! -Hank
Probation with the NCAA, like in the rest of life, is pretty much a non-story. It is. And it's a former coach, so it doesn't affect Baylor at all. Basically, outside of the loss of scholarships, this has zero effect on the Baylor program at all. A ban on postseason play, a suspension of coaches, anything like that would have been significant. This is basically the definition of a slap on the wrist and is the opposite of "Your house of cards is about to come falling down." and "Major NCAA sanctions are likely headed your way.".
Hank, you are a truly desperate troll. The only time you come out from under your rock is to look at Baylor's backside. Enjoy.
Here's a fun fact for you. Baylor is/was ranked in football, basketball, baseball and track and field. Actually, the baseball team cracked the top 10 recently. But you don't have to crap bullets any more. A&M doesnt have to worry about Quincy Miller, Heslip, Pierre Jack, Gathers or Austin next season.
