nope sure dont but I do respect him for his coaching ability...nor do I respect Pitino for leaving Kentucky for the NBA for the money...Nor do I respect Mume for the ruins he left the kentucky program in...Nor do I respect Petrino for leaving U of L for the Falcons job...The biggest thing that ****es me is when a coach says what Carroll says "I love the University the kids etc." if you did then play by the book...Everyone has questioned Carroll for years I sue know I have...I didnt question Cal while at Memphis I do believe he did not really know anything that was going on...But with Carroll it already has been state that HE did have former pro scouts and etc. attend practices and so on thus it makes him accountable...With Cal you had the clousing house clear Rose so it was more of their fault then Cals there is a difference there.

Lot of things that I want to challenge with you, but I'll leave the the others go for another time.

Why do you not respect Pitino for leaving for an NBA job, especially for the Money?

I don't have a single issue with that. I want Championship banners in the Rafters, and had Rick stayed, we could have continued on with the expectation that we could be competing in the Final 4 every single year that he would have been here, thus likley having more titles to display. But he took the money and ran, and I am the first one to say - "Smart Move". He made more money in his few years at Boston than he would have if he would have stated at UK for 15 years. His paycheck went well beyond his coaching salary. He secured his family for a few lifeltimes in just a few years. It afforded him the chance to step back into the college game and never want for anything again.

I have a family. If I could secure my family the same way NOW, I would.

I want NCAA Titles, and with John Wall on this UK squad, we could have a chance to win at least two - If he stayed all four years. But even if we don't win a title this year, he would be an absolute FOOL to stay another year. He has the opportunity to secure his family's family! He can afford next June to blow out his knee and never step onto a basketball court again. Yet, if he stayed in college, he risks that opportunity.

So, what is good for the Goose, is good for the Gander. If Players don't have to stick around, because of the Money, so should the Coaches.

Let's be real here. If Pete Carrol is going to make the kind of money in the NFL that this goofy Seattle contract is going to give him, he'd be a fool to stick around.

Is he running from sanctions? Maybe! Should he care? Maybe! But, OJ Mayo ran from sanctions! Reggie Bush ran from Sanctions! Eddie Sutton ran from Sanctions! Derek Rose ran from sanctions! And yep, even Cal ran from Sanctions. Regardless of what anyone thinks, losing two final four appearances is tied to Cal's legacy, whether anyone wants to justify or absolve him from the actions of others. Losing the wins off of your record book still makes you guilty of something!

Do I care? As I have said, I don't care what Cal does as long as he put's banners in the rafters.

The Seattle Seahawks could care less what happens to USC as long as Carroll get's them to the playoffs.

The Chicago Bulls could care less what happens to Memphis Tigers as they try to explain why Derek Rose's brother rode airplanes to and from Memphis free of charge, all signed off by the Baskebtall program, or wins being taken away and Final Four stripped, as long as Derek Rose fills the seats to capacity

I'm not sure why any of us care what happens at USC!
