Now how many of these coaches have been at schools that have violated NCAA rules/regs?
I know 4 of the top 5 have for sure.

I guess that stuff doesn't matter anymore.... Just win baby.

Calipari gets a bad rep because he just looks like a guy who cheats. The thing is he's had players that broke the rules but what they did was out of Calipari's hands. I know it looks bad but I honestly don't think he cheats. The vacated wins and Finals Fours will always have that stigma attached to his name but he's been cleared of any wrongdoing by the NCAA and now that he's at Kentucky he doesn't need to do anything illegal to get players. Also I think it's fair to say that every coach in America did something to bend if not break the rules of the NCAA because winning really is all that matters.

😂 You're right
He kind of looks like he'd be the boss of one of the five families so I'm sure that has something to do with why people hate him lmao. :ROFLMAO: As a Kentucky fan I'm happy he's our coach because there's definitely been more ups than downs with him in charge. It's been a while since the Cats have been this good though but I think they get back to the Final Four this year and everybody has more reason to hate Calipari because everybody hates a winner.
