Was confused for a moment. Thought this was about British basketball.

Well, the cat’s out of the bag now. Performance actually does matter.

The Law Of Effect

Generally, you get more of the performance that is rewarded and less of the performance that is punished.

Democrats don’t like this Law. Obama would have been thrown out of office after two weeks.

Such a stupid comment from the woman interviewer “...When you build a lead, you can start experimenting...”

Calipari cut her off quickly with the “We’re just trying to win the game...”

I love it. Sports can be so illuminating as a contrast to the idiocy of the governmental policy of Lefties.

“I keep saying, ‘This is not communism. You’ve got to perform. You go in there and don’t perform, I’m not playing you,’” he said.

“Democrats don’t like this Law. Obama would have been thrown out of office after two weeks.”

“O” wouldn’t have got the nomination

Ok, I feel a little better about the pounding Kentucky gave to my Kansas Jayhawks earlier this season.

Hey Calipari,
Will ANY of your “student athletes” graduate?
Do any of them attend REAl classes?
I’d bet more end up in jail than do graduate.

As an aside, this will be the last time I go to the Breitbart site. I had to reboot to get out of an annoying “Call this number for virus protection” message that went over and over and wouldn’t let me out. I tried to close it in Task Manager and was unsuccessful. I think Breitbart would be very disappointed with the guys running it.

Calipari is honest enough to admit that he doesn’t have student atheletes - he refers to them as “players.”

At least he didn’t say “it’s not a union.” That would have really gotten their panties in a wad.
