I agree with Mellinger that it stinks that the NCAA has not prevented the leaking of this story. To me, this should be a factor that mitigates any sanction if they go forward with allegations and findings.

Regarding the play of this year's team, I do think that Ernie Nestor was important to Mizzou's success last year and wish he was still on Haith's staff.

Haith has been a good recruiter, but he may always need a good offensive assistant.

At this point, I think Haith should keep the job, if his recruits remain committed.

I feel for the guy, this convicted con-man Shapiro should not be able to seek satisfaction through the NCAA, he is in jail because of his Ponzi scheme not because of anything that anybody at Miami did. And the NCAA should prevent leaking stories.

I don't understand why Alden should be blamed. He got a clean report from the NCAA. Seems like conventional opinion was that Matt Painter at Purdue or Brad Stevens at Butler were the hot prospects. Painter is not leaving his alma mater and Purdue is not doing much. Stevens seems very committed to Butler, he is still there and putting good teams on the floor.
