CBSSports says they spent the summer talking with almost 100 college coaches and asking who is the biggest cheater...
and of course- they name no names of where their info comes from which makes this a pretty shoddy piece of journalism - but it makes for good reading.
their answers are the subject of this interesting column....
and obviously you'd never get a unanimous answer - but...it is interesting that TWO head coaches got way, way more "votes" than everyone else on the planet combined....so the perception sure is that there are two guys in the sport that are widely recognized as the biggest cheater.
..and the individual, anonymous comments quoted are nothing short of tabloid hit pieces, but they are amazingly harsh.
this one stands out...
"On high-major coaches in general: "They all [expletive] cheat. Every high-level coach cheats."
BTW -- let me add that after reading this column a couple times I have lost virtually all respect for CBSSports, Gary Parrish, Jeff Goodman, etc...
if they think it's just fine to print this stuff on a widely and nationally viewed platform such as CBSSports, then it shows how low "journalism" has sunk...
they even have the GALL to put this crap into their piece - trying to take some perceived "high road" that just does not exist here.....
"Let me start by making one thing clear -- that we at CBSSports.com are not calling anybody a cheater. We worded the question carefully
and specifically for a reason, because it's unfair to call anybody a cheater without proof. So please don't tell your friends that "CBSSports.com
called John Calipari and Scott Drew cheaters," because we've actually done nothing of the sort.
and...
No coach seems to know exactly what he's (Bryce Drew) supposedly doing or exactly how he's supposedly doing it.
But they still think he must be doing something.
...He's despised by a lot of people because he comes off holier than God...If it wasn't for the God stuff he wouldn't rub people the wrong way as much."
