POLL: Who is the slimiest active basketball coach in NCAA D-1?

[Fox Chapel Lion II]

In your opinion, who is the slimiest? I'm thinking primarily of payola, academic fraud, iffy transfers with welding certificates, that kind of stuff. Drinking with coeds (sorry Larry Eustachy), not interested. Lousy, ineffective coaches? Ed DeChellis need not apply. WE WANT CRIMES! The BIG stuff. Death-penalty-worthy high crimes (no misdemeanors).

Poll choices are ACTIVE (for now) coaches with one guy warming up in the bullpen. So we miss out on all-timers like Tark the Shark, Jim Valvano, Steve Fisher, Eddie Sutton, Jim Calhoun, Dave Bliss - not to mention the coupled entry of John Wooden and Sam Gilbert.

Who else you got? Give us the SLIMIEST, CHEATINGEST coaches out there today!

Just spent way more time than I should admit trying to pick between Pearl and Sampson.

Where is the "all of the above" button? None of the above names would shock me.

Pat Chambers is on the hot seat.

Just kidding, there is no hot seat for basketball at Penn State, the seat has been nice and cool since the dawn of time.

It'll be Boeheim in a landslide!

Thanks for sharing ... never saw that. I've always enjoyed Curt Smith's commentaries. Being an upstate NY guy you'd think he'd be in Boeheim's corner. Instead, he's like C'mon Jim, you're sinking to a new low.

I'd still pick Boeheim!

I'd still pick Boeheim!

About 25 years ago, a kid from my high school got a basketball schollie to Syracuse under Boeheim. He started PG as a freshman, and played a lot. Over the years, his minutes decreased, and he was never told why, or what he had to do improve. By the time he left, he was buried on the bench, and Boeheim had told him he was not going to let him transfer.

I ran into the kid's father a few years later, and when discussing the issue, his father said "If Jim Boeheim and a pile of dog sh*t were in the same room, the dog sh*t would get up and leave because Boeheim stinks so bad".

Reading this article just reinforced my disdain for Boeheim.

23% graduation rate .... that number alone tells what he is made of.

Last time I saw voting like this, it was in Venezuela.

So Boeheim is despised in South America, too?

I KNEW IT!

The King of Hypocrisy: Coach Mike Krzyzyfkl;ewf;lwfkk;nhwfjkb

But in all seriousness, probably Avery Johnson.

I didn't think to include Johnson in the poll, just didn't really stand out to me as a cheater or a guy surrounded by clouds of rumors. He's basically an NBA guy, hadn't been around the college game enough to build a rep.

HOWEVER . . .

When a school like Alabama, who has historically never done anything in hoops, all of a sudden pulls the #2 class in America (per Rivals), that is a dead giveaway that things might not be all that they seem. What the hell - like Tuscaloosa was hidden away like the Hope Diamond all these years?
