So is it bad of to be happy that Kentucky lost this weekend? I don't have any real hatred of Kentucky from the past but I am just glad that they lost and I feel that there is justice in the world.

So why am I happy that they lost? It has all to do with their coach John Calipari. Why the coach you might ask? I feel that John Calipari has gotten away with too much as a college coach. Here is a guy who led two programs to Final Four appearances only to have them vacated for violations. Each time the NCAA found that there was no wrong-doing by Coach Calipari but you have to be kidding. You are telling me that the head coach of a Division 1 program didn't know all that was happening with his program? One time maybe but twice? C'mon there is a pattern there of doing what it takes to win.
I'm sorry but this is one of the reasons people believe college sports is a problem and that the NCAA is weak. Coach Calipari in my opinion needs to receive some form of punishment. Why can a coach leave a program in shambles and nothing happens to him? However I doubt it will come until maybe Kentucky is found with violations??
Let's compare him to Bobby Knight, the maligned former Head Coach of Indiana and Texas Tech. Sure Bobby was a jerk on the court. I am not saying to anyone to follow his coaching style as I don't agree with it. But let's take count of how many kids he graduated from college? How many NCAA violations did he have as a coach? But people seem to have more of a problem with him than they do with Calipari who is getting schools in trouble.
Well these are my thoughts, I know as a coach I really shouldn't blast anyone else but I think that coaches need to start cleaning up their ranks.
