Mike your petty attempts are quite transparent in their malicious intent. Go ahead and report him to the NCAA and proceed to be laughed at. Clearly the newspaper misreported and/or misinterpreted what happened and has since revised it. They have no incentive to help VCU. As far as the rules go, you are allowed to say hello, but not much more than that. What Shaka did was far from illegal.

People say it's because he's the main guy now, and perhaps that was an issue earlier in the year, but having seen him play in so many games this year, he's just not hitting the shots he hit last season. We're talking, good, wide open looks. It's so odd. Burgess’ season has been a total mystery to me.

Obviously you're not familiar with Shaka, because the man is a bastion of light in a dark place. His integrity and honesty are above reproach, and I don't just say that as a VCU student/fan but as a human being. Stop trying to bring the man down and celebrate that the CAA is playing some absolutely fantastic basketball this season, and it is only getting better. Don’t make a fool of yourself Mike.

And if you're calling Drexel the 6th best team in Philadelphia, you obviously haven't seen Penn and St. Joes over the past few years.

And besides, if the big-3 bolt for another conference, people like you could finally stop complaining about the location of the CAA tournament. Sure, the remaining CAA would garner about as much respect and interest as the MEAC, but hey, the tournament might still be able to sell out the DAC. How many people do you seat there, about 2000? I'm sure the people of Philadelphia would turn out and support the 6th best team in the city. Mario: ODU, GMU, and VCU are successful programs, as opposed to Drexel.

We are now in the EVALUATION PERIOD which allows for coaches to watch players but they are to have NO CONTACT during this period. Corrigan and Blow may have been at the game - which is perfectly legal for all coaches. But they were not seen "chatting" with a player after the game and that "chat" being reported by a local newspaper. To add to the story - the newspaper has since REVISED the article to remove the quote on Shaka Smart "chatting" with a player after the game. They literally went in and changed the article. Very interesting to say the least. DB – I am familiar with the general recruiting cycle.
