Jim Calhoun – Against Drug Testing?
College Basketball, Courts, Legal, Drugs January 31st. 2008, 5:29pm
That’s a possible conclusion after reading Jeff Goodman’s latest over at Fox Sports – Connecticut’s second-leading scorer, Jerome Dyson, is now serving a 30-day suspension from the basketball team for failing his second drug test since arriving in Storrs.
According to sources, UConn athletic director Jeff Hathaway ordered both players to take drug tests after the incident. While drug testing is allowed if there is probable cause, Calhoun was upset with Hathaway.
Hathaway, who doesn’t get along with Calhoun, also facilitated the release of a school police statement that included details of the incident.
“It was done by the athletic director,” Calhoun said after Monday night’s win against Louisville. “He’s the one who put that release out.”
Weak punishments, stealing recruits, angry at prank phone callers – Jim Calhoun, what a guy! You know what a college player’s dream coaching staff is? Calhoun and John Calipari. Nobody gets punished! In other college hoops coaching news, Kansas State assistant “coach” Dalonte Hill – who is the only reason Michael Beasley is a Wildcat – was busted for DUI last night after celebrating the landmark win against Kansas. Two final notes on Pac-10 Thursday: UCLA cheerleaders seem nice, and it’s OJ Mayo vs. Jerryd Bayless tonight.

we may start posting until 6 to appease the west coast folks. BUT if the west coasters aren’t commenting late, then it may not be worth it.

Got to see the UCLA cheerleaders up close at the Final Four 2 years ago when Mason went, it took incredible willpower for me not to oogle them with my girlfriend sitting next to me.

January 31st, 2008 at 5:58 PM

January 31st, 2008 at 6:09 PM

NCAAB- BC/UNC, IU/WISC, PROV/ND, NCST/DUKE, AZ/USC
NBA- DAL/BOS, SAS/PHX
Again, lost is on @ 9…too bad I’m heading to a bday party all tonight (Yes, I have actual friends…shocking)

Mountain Time Zoner here and I appreciate the later posts. I would also appreciate Erin Andrews pictures. I would appreciate an Erin Andrews blowjob or tittiefuck.

Does this shock anyone? Marcus Williams steals laptops gets a slap on the wrist but AJ Price takes the heat.
Dyson’s second offense and he only gets 30 days?!? He should be gone.
January 31st, 2008 at 6:16 PM

January 31st, 2008 at 6:18 PM
TBL,
I feel your pain. I can’t listen to Mastertape theater either…the new Sirius shows are just superior. It’s Faction 28 for Friday morning.

I sleep in and listen to nothing but the honking horns and police sirens of noisy New York. Also, there are pigeons that occasionally frequent our window.

Hot Cheerleaders + Neuheisal recruited football players
What could possibly go wrong?
January 31st, 2008 at 6:24 PM
Sound like the thought of a man with balls on his chin.

Another west coast reader here, and I appreciate the late posts. You’ve kept me sane over the last 90 minutes as I sit on the phone with our moronic web host as they can’t figure out how to do a simple web forwarding address.

Boo Hoo. Jim Calhoun is a meanie!
January 31st, 2008 at 7:39 PM
F the West Coast! East Coast rules, despite what Snoop Dogg thinks!
January 31st, 2008 at 7:45 PM
I noticed I’m being taken into the night with a grumpy scumbag who may or may not stare at his players in the shower. That’s a downgrade from last night.

Who is watching this debate?
Is there any group of people these two won’t pander to?
January 31st, 2008 at 9:01 PM
was watching the lost series recap and picking out a Roundup photo … the debates are beyond worthless
ps, Boston College is CRAP

Celtics-Mavs on TNT.
44 all at the half. Ray Allen has 1/4 of the points scored in the game.
January 31st, 2008 at 10:14 PM
Duke down 9 at the half again…can NCSU finish what my Terps couldnt?…Probably not.
January 31st, 2008 at 10:30 PM
Was watching Indiana struggle with a banged-up Eric Gordon at Wisconsin. Just turned on NC State but there’s no way this team closes it out. 14 mins left, tie game … still, don’t see it happening. What’s with the green tshirts in the crowd?
January 31st, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Ok Mike Patrick, you’re having fun and all, but Paulus is beating up on – i think – a NC State freshman PG who has been awful since getting the starting job. I would HOPE a hamburger AA could kill this kid at home …
January 31st, 2008 at 11:07 PM
Duke kids bleed blue but think green…get it TBL its clever.
January 31st, 2008 at 11:28 PM
Just so its out there…I can’t watch LOST on strong booze

Why are these college kids given drug tests? So if they miss a class and get in trouble they’re given a drug test?
Dont they have any freedoms?
Let me take a guess. In a fight between Calhoun and the AD I got my money on Calhoun winning it since he built the school.
