From Rick Bonnell’s blog, he quoted Larry Brown on Calipari,
“I told him Memphis (when he took the job) was a phenomenal opportunity because they had great support, great tradition and great high-school basketball. But their conference was a lot different (before Conference USA lost) [B]Louisville and Marquette and Cincinnati[/B]. Still it was a basketball school with great tradition.”
I guess he doesn’t think we, or St. Louis I guess, were much of a threat to the Tigers.

Why would have he even heard of us in the past few years? Do you think he walks around campus to see the paper signs announcing there is a game that night?
Louisville, Marquette and Cincy are historically top programs, that is probably why he mentioned them.

Why all the Collegiate Sports threads in the Townhall-Ramblings section lately? First the one on Seth Curry and now this one.
Anyway, this is really much ado about nothing. Larry Brown wasn’t in Charlotte during our run in Conference USA so it’s just not on his radar screen. I suspect the season we just we’re not on his radar screen period! :rolleyes:
