Re: Still Think Tim Floyd was a Sacrificial Lamb?

KG-if you know of some instances where coach Floyd cheated, I would like to know of the allegations. He may have bent the rules with a guy like Pratt, but I don't think he has ever been accused of NCAA violations outside of the USC one.

If his career was so important so that he wouldn't cheat to jeopardize it, then how come when accused he wouldn't defend himself to the public?

Its not like it killed his career...

The NCAA will never use it again, IMO. Not even on a MAC team. The results are simply too devastating.
There was actually a pretty good article on it the other day.
