Do you have a link to "Rose being with www at the pistons game the day after he took the test"? tia, but I curious if you can find any link anywhere besides homersites/message boards.
It was never proven Rose didn't take/cheated on the test btw. *Memphis fans are still pissed about that....and Rose for not cooperating with the NCAA (who cleared Rose twice (before and during the season)). Since Rose didn't bother, UM games were vacated.
Local Memphis fans share your hate for UK and Calipari, but they would disagree with you on your opinion.
Tubby didn't have the off court issues at UK like he did in Memphis as well. That in itself should tell you something.
Sorry I’m not following what opinion Memphis fans wouldn’t agree with???
Im also not sure what kind of off the court issues Tubby had at Memphis besides not getting along with the Lawson brothers., I’m not denying he had any, I just don’t remember what they were. But I also don’t remember him catching any flack for keeping players on the team who were involved in domestic violence or handing down an indefinite suspension for domestic violence that only lasted 1 game bc their was only one game left until the conference tourney started. Or any of Tubbys players initially reporting to the police that 40k worth of fur coats were stolen after the players dorm or whatever they call it was broken into.
But even so, nothing like that has happened during Cals tenure at UK, so I can definitely understand why UK fans wouldn’t care. I’m just simply pointing out that there was a reason Cal had a bad reputation and people that are very plugged into the college basketball scene “couldn’t respect the way Cal ran his program” at Memphis, ala Matt Jones, and it had nothing to do with the Rose or Camby ordeal. Hell that jewel by jones was before any of the Rose stuff came out anyways.
I do agree with the premise that if Memphis was landing a lot of players from the city of Memphis it’s not surprising that some would get in legal trouble since they stayed in the city and likely had life long friends there that were bad influences, regardless of who the HC is/was. That totally makes sense If that was the point you were trying to make.
And it adds up, as again Cal hasn’t really had any kind of issues like at UK, period. Hell id say the only things that were even questionable in his UK tenure were Bledsoe’s grades, the AD story that got quickly pulled, and Hagans flashing his shoebox money on social media. And btw I was just guessing on the amount, assuming it wasn’t a bunch of 1s based on the size of the wads in his hands it was definitely more than just a couple thousand (unless of course it was fake money lmao like kids flex on social media with fake money, or that counterfeit money is easy to get ur hands on and not extremely illegal). That’s about as believable as LSU fans claiming OBJ was passing out fake money at the national championship game lol.
And as far as Rose cheating on his act, it would have been very easy for him to prove he didn’t cheat if he would have chosen to cooperate. Conversely it would have been very easy to prove that he did cheat if he did and would have cooperated. I kinda feel like anyone being accused of something they didn’t do would do anything in their power to prove their innocence but I obv don’t know D Rose so who knows. Guess anyone can believe whatever they want as far as that goes.
