Yes, get back to us — do


According to The Associated Press, UConn basketball coach Jim Calhoun told reporters that “he and the university are looking into a Yahoo Sports report claiming the school broke NCAA rules during the recruitment of former basketball player Nate Miles.”

From press reports, it doesn’t look like it will take much “looking into” to discover that UConn coaches did, indeed, violate NCAA rules in Miles’ recruitment. Exhibit A are the phone records of Calhoun and his assistants, and those babies don’t lie.

Can anyone say Kelvin Sampson?

But let the Calhoun-UConn investigation begin. I’m sure it will be quite thorough. Still, an image does come to mind of a crook exiting a house with loot over his shoulder suddenly being cornered.

“Hey, Lefty,” reporters shout, “you look like you’re breaking and entering; what gives?”

“Well,” Lefty replies, “me and my pals are looking into that incident and we’ll get back to you.”
