I am amazed at how high profile coaches continue to text & email shady stuff. In this day and age how do they not know anything sent is captured forever. The UNC & Duke comment cracked me up, such a complex with those two schools.

Will be interesting to see how Self responds.

You would think that a high paying basketball coach who wanted to go against the system wouldn’t be sending a shady handler texts! Lol

Is there a link to the alleged content of the texts?

I thought the article mentioned Self didn’t know about the texts and it was an assistant sending them? I could be wrong though

It never ceases to amaze, and amuse, me how much fans of other programs foam at the mouth in the desperate hope that Duke and Coach K might be implicated in something.

I am of the opinion that all teams cheat in all major sports--some schools more than others. I'd bet my left nut that all of the high profile players, and nearly all of the lower profile players, receive extras of all kinds from shoe companies, boosters, etc. I bet that most coaches know of it in a general sense, but that the smart ones stay away from the details of it--except for the apparently stupid coaches who friggen text about such things.

I am a huge K homer, always have been--but I think K's response in his presser was a bad look for him. He hasn't thought about a HUGE issue in college basketball that is affecting the blue blood programs with coaches he knows personally, and when players on his roster have been named as being possibly associated in some way? Yeah right. I wish he had said something more to the effect of "it's a big issue in college basketball, and I'm watching to see what happens, just like everyone else."

This Adidas thing is but a small glimpse behind the curtain of college sports.

I get what K is saying. Remember point shaving in the 50’s was supposed to bring down college basketball; then it happened again in the 60’s, then drugs, then OAD and now this. It’s major news now, but will be a blip on the radar in the history of college basketball.

This is a huge scandal no doubt, but 50 years from now, we won’t be discussing this as much, just like we rarely discuss the point shaving incidents in the 50’s and 60’s and other scandals surrounding college athletics.
