THEY COMMITTED A CRIME.
It doesn't matter if they are black/white/yellow/green/blue/purple.
This idea that the problems of certain minority groups are solely due to oppression by other groups is the primary reason we still have so many racial divides today.
This "opinion" piece is nothing more than the SJW/Race baiting crap constantly pumped out by the media today. It's beyond tiresome.
Im just so sick of this crap. I mean we are talking skin color. Just so dumb that this is an issue in our society today. I love sports. It used to be an outlet where everyone could come together. Now everything is so damn political and i hate it. The media is taking all the purity out of what i love and all i can say is that this just makes me sad.
Yeah I wasn't referring to the part about committing a crime. I was referring to the part where you said black coaches were thugs fulfilling a stereotype...
Yeah, that's real racist.
This is an insult to every black coach who is choosing to do recruiting the best way possible and an insult to every white coach who is trying to run a clean program. To use a few examples of illegality and improper benefits from the bb coaching world as an argument to excuse illegal behavior from coaches, in general, is specious, imo. Not every coach is crooked, whether assistant, head or otherwise. The truth is, these bb coaches made illegal, inappropriate choices that violated the code of conduct for coaching and broke federal laws in order to recruit top athletes for their programs.
This hurts everyone - the school, the other student athletes and coaches, families of coaches and students and the value of the sport, itself.

He never said anything about black coaches being thugs. He said that actions by the coaches who did this (both white and black in this instance) were thuggish. I've never noticed your username before, but I understand from your lack of reading comprehension and last few posts why you only receive 1 like every 323rd post.

Yeah, I post on the national board and have for years. Likes don't carry over from boards. Not that I post for likes in the first place. If I wanted you to like me I'd post **** about political correctness and how black people lack responsibility. Then you'd like me I bet.
It's too bad you didn't actually address the main point of my post. The fact that he said nothing about the coaches who committed illegal actions being white or black. Also, as a black man myself, I'm not sure why I would love it if you talked about black people lacking responsibility lol. You seem to want to turn everything into a matter of color...what is it you call someone who discriminates based off the color of skin of someone...hmmm...

No joke. It's actually been called a "swahili penis" by at least 3 of my players' mothers.
Ups and downs. It's hard to deal with the slander and lies. After spending a lifetime dedicated to honesty and selflessness. . . for my career to end like this. . . well let's just says life can be so unfair. But I'm working through it.
None of it is true and I doubt you really believe that? Blacks not allowed to play college basketball 50 years ago? What? There has never been a time in history where blacks could not play college basketball. Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and many others were playing basketball more than 50 years ago. Russell was born in Louisiana during segregation but he managed to play college basketball. They couldn't play in the ACC, Southwest Conference and SEC but they could play college basketball and many did. They also had their own black colleges and they had basketball teams so there was an opportunity to play college basketball.
If a head coach can win, the color of his skin makes no difference. 90% of players may be black but only about 12% of the total population in the U.S is black. The reason the per cent is so lopsided is because blacks are better basketball players. So where is the racism? If you want to be a bean counter let's go. How many players are Hispanic, how many are Asian, how many are Mid East Muslims. How many are white? Be thankful for what you have because blacks in America are very blessed. Extremely blessed.
I agree with you, not all black coaches are thugs. But mike Anderson is. He might wear suits and have nice things but he's a thug
Haha bkinguk is possibly the worst U.K. Poster I've ever seen. The guy lives on the main board sucking those idiots butts and his post are just terrible. So bad I had to block him. He downgrades U.K. On a constant basis and only shows up to fight UK fans.
Everyone should put him on ignore. Now we know he's part of the white goodman brigade, pitiful.

Since when is breaking the rules a
Perspective?
Folks, so much of what is wrong with the country is encapsulated in the gist of this article.
Because liberal white men use the soft bigotry of low expectations to further their political causes. It's a fact, that's why they promote injustices that are proven lies. They will look away from the data and move to "personal feelings" - "they stare at me". They've created hysteria and paranoia. History will not judge this group well.
He is black you moron. Take your soft bigotry and find a homeless Louisville fan on the main board. It'll be worth a few cents to get yourself some big red.
Hey JA, I realize you’re “writing” for loservile troll and grad Plascerhkey but please realize you’re condoning the actions of ADULTS. Black, green, purple, white or periwinkle they all CHOSE to cheat and to make their bones by cutting corners. So before his metaphorical fist up typur ventriloquist dummy *** starts to chafe call the cheaters to the mat for cheating not the establishment for calling out “coaches” based on race. Coward sheep.
I don't care what color your skin is if you do something wrong you do it from the heart. I am getting sick and tired of this race card being played. You do something wrong IT IS YOUR FAULT.
How about Adande's argument that blacks are discriminated against because they hold only 17% of what he calls the big 75 coaching jobs, despite making up more that half the population of players.
Since when did you have to play at the highest level to be qualified as a coach?
That would knock out guys like John Calipari (D-2 Clarion) and Brad Stevens (D-3 Depauw) among many others.

“Obnoxious ****” is allowed if you call it a “hot take.” Thanks Stephanie A, Colleen Cowturd, er al.
But what does the race of the perpetrators have anything to do with it? They are all crooks & cheaters. They chose to cheat, they deserve the punishment. I doubt that anyone will not consider a black person for a coaching position for what these guys did. Hopefully the days of race stereotyping is gone... but that is exactly what Adande is doing.
Beyond sick of this crap. I am a white male with a long time black girlfriend, safe to say I do not care even the smallest bit what color someone’s skin is. But some people make it their life’s goal to insert race into any and every situation they can, twisting and turning the blame so as to make the black man a victim. No matter the magnitude of the obvious pathetic behavior of some people, it will inevitably be brought back to race... just because. Pathetic. Give it up.
So he thinks their job requirements include taking bribes to steer players toward corrupt agents?
What a heaping pile of nonsense.
So.....the article is basically saying that the biggest victims in this scandal are African American assistant coaches because they are easily manipulated, not able to think for themselves, have the spine and will of a jellyfish, and participate in illegal behaviors because they are pressured to produce recruits by their white puppet masters.
The writer of this article may not realize how much he is insulting these poor African American coaches with his racist ramblings.

I should probably read the linked article, but I'm too lazy. Is the author saying these guys are the victims because they are black, or because they are the assistant coaches?
