recent media

[THERESA ADAMS]

First of all, I thought Jason Williams of the Post had an excellent article today(Friday) about Huggins and Calipari's relationship.  His article made things much clearer to me as to why these two have been bickering through the media.

Second, I thought the "Outside the Lines" show tonight was very fair.  They gave Coach Huggins the opportunity to voice his opinion about the NCAA graduation statistics and really supported Huggins' viewpoint by showing a number of UC basketball graduates who have graduated and have good jobs.  Also, I thought the report showed the problem with a university manufacturing degrees to cast a favorable light on its program.  It was ironic that as I watched the program, news of Coach Richardson's buyout of his contract was being reported.  Richardson's recent press conference reminded me of the bizarre behavior of Ricky Birdsong at Northwestern.
