Placing the importance of winning over following rules is a basic concept.

Either he didn't have the drive he had at UK, or he was at the least negligent and wanted to win so badly he was willing to cheat or look the other way while at UofL.

You also have no idea how involved he was in the "oversight" while at UK either.

If he didn't have any drive, he wouldn't have offered ANY 5 star recruits, he would have just taken nothing but 3 star kids that did what he wanted and a few transfers to fill it out. He would have produced teams like Crum did in his late years.

This is a basic concept.

You can't have it both ways - you are wrong one way or the other. On the bright side, you could be right one way or the other.

More than likely you're just wrong altogether. Good job.

You should consider a course in logic some day because what you are saying is not logical. Bottom line is Pitino came into the job with less motivation than he had at UK including keeping control over the program. I think he believed he could get recruits based strictly on his name alone. Started off that way with Garcia and Dean but that was about it. Anyone who thinks the Sypher thing was just an isolated incident is naive. That was likely how Pitino spent much of his time on "recruiting" trips. Then Nike took over college recruiting and thanks to Pitino we were stuck with Adidas. I think that is when Pitino decided look the other way with regard to cheating. Unfortunately Adidas was a bunch of amateurs in terms of cheating and we got busted in the process.

People don't try to gain an advantage in a game if they aren't driven to win it.

That is correct. So?

No. Those things are no longer part of the NCAA record book and therefore do not count and that is a shame because what we were penalized for did not help us win.

Those accomplishments were removed from the history books AFTER Pitino left UofL.

Your statement was Rick didn't have as much drive while he was at UofL as he did while he was at UK.

That makes no sense.
