    I think the rejected title was "Profiles in Courage: Cal and Calhoun Commit Civil Disobedience via Text Messages, Cushy Cash Comp to Needy Hoops Stars."
    Just be you. You is enough. - K, 4/5/10, 0:13.8 to play, 60-59 Duke.

    You're all jealous hypocrites. - Titus on Laettner

    You see those guys? Animals. They're animals. - SIU Coach Chris Lowery, on Duke

    Whitlock has one MO, especially when it comes to college hoops and anything NCAA related, play the race card regardless of the actual facts. He's right to call out the shoe companies for exploiting AAU players for all they can get, but trying to paint Marion Piggie as some helps victim caught between the evil mechanations of Shoe contracts and NCAA witch hunts is laughable. Whitlock is a great NFL beat writer and analyst, he really out to just stick with that. Anything else, particularly dealing with the NCAA, his motives are way too transparent. He's one of those guys thats convinced something really happened in the Duke lacrosse case, simply because the victim was black and the accused were white. Facts? Not needed for opinion pieces fishing for hits.

    Not really sure why anyone takes Whitlock seriously -- even if he loved Duke and managed to make more than one interesting point every ten columns, he would still be a particularly unreadable and attention-seeking shock columnist. In this case, shoot the messenger -- please.

    I will defend Jason Whitlock on the lacrosse issue. He pointed out that if the races were reversed in the case, the opposite stance would have been taken. He thought the case should be treated without consideration of the race of the "alleged" victim.

    He writes enough columns that I agree with that I continue to give his columns in the Star a look. This wasn't one of them.

    Hmm. Just skimmed through the article. I almost expect the dig at Duke. However, it strikes me as really, really odd that the only player other than Magic and Bird specifically mentioned in an article about dirty coaches is Seth Curry, who wasn't even a part of the high major recruiting process and has never to my knowledge even been mentioned in connection with any recruiting violations. Apparently there aren't enough players currently in the NBA making millions who are suspected of innapropriate behavior to use as examples, so we have to bring up Seth Curry, who committed the unforgivable sin of happening to announce his transfer to Duke when Whitlock was writing his article.

    Do You Still Hate Duke?

    Pretty funny and sad all at once, even though the comments are the standard inferiority complex acting out from other fans. It's like a guy saying to his buddies that he no longer cares for his old girlfriend, while he continues to stalk her secretly.

    I haven't had a chance to read the last few posts in this thread. Just wanted to say that Jason Whitlock was one of the early writers to see through the Duke Lacrosse scandal and question Nifong's methods and integrity.

    The writer of this article lays out quite plainly the genesis of many of our current recruiting woes.

    *sigh*
