"Bobby Knight said integrity is lacking in college basketball and cited Kentucky coach John Calipari as an example. During a fundraiser for the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, Knight said he doesn't understand why Calipari is still coaching. We've gotten into this situation where integrity is really lacking and that's why I'm glad I'm not coaching," he said. "You see we've got a coach at Kentucky who put two schools on probation and he's still coaching. I really don't understand that.
"And very few people know this, but a kid can play the first semester as a freshman, pass six hours of anything and play in the NCAA tournament without ever attending a class in the second semester. I don't think that's right."
Massachusetts and Memphis were both sanctioned by the NCAA for violations committed during Calipari's tenure (CBSSports)."
I am a Calipari fan, but every thing Knight said is so true you really can't argue. Calipari runs dirty programs then runs before the NCAA can get ahold of him. It is amazing what this guy has done and no one seems to really go after him. Maybe this will turn a couple heads, but Knight is really on to something here...
