Keteyian wrote a hit piece book called "Big Red Confidential" that was basically nothing but a pack of lies. I remember looking at the blurb on the inside leaf and knowing from the first sentence what it was, as it talked about the NU athletic department owning several corporate jets that were used for nothing but flying coaches and recruits around the country. However, to give Keteyian credit I did hear him admit on the radio that he made a serious mistake in his research methodology for the book. He did virtually no research himself, but paid kids to do the research. And he had bonuses for kids who turned up dirt. So naturally if they couldn't turn up any dirt honestly, they made it up. For example, Nate Mason was quoted in the book as saying that Turner Gill and Mike Rozier were heavy coke users. In a 6 part piece in the LJS Mason stated that he refused to even talk to any of Keteyian's kids when they banged on his door and the only mention of coke was when one of Keteyian's kids offered Mason some coke for dirt on other players. Mason said he threw the kid down 2 flights of stairs. Having played countless pick-up basketball games with Mason I can totally see that. In any event, it sounded like Keteyian learned his lesson about his research style. Still, I would be somewhat leery of anything he was involved in, whether it was about NU or any other school.
