Keatts says State absolutely not involved in FBI probe.
http://www.newsobserver.com/sports/college/acc/nc-state/state-now/article200913584.html
He’s no Russell Westbrook, but he’s holding his own on a crappy, talent-less team in his rookie season. A lot of folks here on this very board exactly one year ago predicting for him to be in the development league or riding the pine.
Those must be the same people that dont follow the NBA. Because nearly everybody had him as a can’t miss lottery. And that’s the way it has gone.
Rye and wulfpack – that is my concern as well. I hope You thoroughly vetted Keatts. I know that it’s just our luck for us to dragged into this while the school down the road walks away from the biggest cheating scandal in college sports virtually unscathed (though t did hurt their women’s program.)
I don’t have any info that Keatts is involved in any way. But yea, I surely hope the proper due diligence was done. Other programs wanted him, too. So there’s that.
Eveeything I read indicated it is the “top” programs. Clearly, that hasn’t been us.
BUT, Keatts was at a top program prior to his time at UNCW. Let’s hope this investiagtion is after his time there.
Well here you have it, UNC is not involved:
North Carolina coach Roy Williams says he is confident the defending national champion Tar Heels weren’t part of the FBI’s two-year investigation into college basketball bribes and corruption.
“I feel very comfortable,” Williams told reporters in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. “If the phone rings at night, I’m not worried about that. I may worry about a lot of other things, but it ain’t about that.”
Show me where it hurt the UNX women’s BB program.
I’m not familiar with what happened there. Can you please summarize?
Thhis may be all smoke and mirrors at this point – but my instincts say this is going to be cataclysmic.
My fear is we’re just getting things going with the whole sport (and us) about to be blown apart…
No kidding. I’m surprised more people aren’t following this. I understand it is all innuendo now but just reading the tea leaves – it’s about to hit the fan.
Just one take:
Multiple sources who’ve been briefed on the case and are familiar with the material obtained by feds told Yahoo Sports that the impact on the sport will be substantial and relentless. Sitting under protective order right now are the fruits of 330 days of monitoring activity by the feds, which one assistant US Attorney noted Thursday was “a voluminous amount of material.” That includes wiretaps from 4,000 intercepted calls and thousands of documents and bank records obtained from raids and confiscated computers, including those from notorious NBA agent Andy Miller.
“This goes a lot deeper in college basketball than four corrupt assistant coaches,” said a source who has been briefed on the details of the case. “When this all comes out, Hall of Fame coaches should be scared, lottery picks won’t be eligible to play and almost half of the 16 teams the NCAA showed on its initial NCAA tournament show this weekend should worry about their appearance being vacated.”

Best nugget in there was that Kenan is being downsized.
This is no surprise to me. Many factors involved. But I’m a dad now and don’t have the time. Can’t tell you how many of us just DVR or watch parts of games on our smartphones when we can. Students, also, have many competing priorities.
Agree with Rye on the charge rule. Nothing good happens when you attempt to take it under the basket (and that’s not sound defense).
Looks like we’re currently on the outside looking in (it will be interesting to get VaWolf’s update) but there are games to play. This Cuse game is huge.
I was wrong. Maye did have a career day. Yet again we allow one. What do we have to do to stop giving opponents career days? Rhetorical question.
For starters, box out. And a little helpside every now and then would be good, too.
