I've seen writers "borrow" before, but I don't rememer anything that blatant. You really should insist on attribution, LJ. Not to punish the guy who claimed credit, but for your own reputation as an analyst and writer.
more like the guy Carroll went to, to write that is ting his pants

Well let's face it, if you're looking for quality Spurs related content on the internet, you won't find no better. In fact, you'll be hard pressed to find close to as good. This isn't just run of the mill fluff, this is actual in depth commentary and detailed analysis.
I edited my initial post in this thread
not to mention the bull that this is an insider article that people have to pay for.
He'll just make up an assistant and blame it on him.
That's what pisses me off more. People are actually paying for this kind of information at ESPN and they're getting blatant plagiarism.
For sure... if someone doesn't want to watch the spurs that is fine... but ffs... if you are going to have to write about them... don't steal the work of someone who does... and knows them inside out.. give them credit...
I would be getting a huge kick out of an ex-NBA coach stealing my stuff though... hah
Where's the ESPN ombudsmen when you need them?
Exactly. Essentially wins the case because the material is considered provided from an informers pov. The bas can't claim his info was "common knowledge."
Done. Already reported.
Can you really accuse someone of plagiarism if the sentences and words aren't exactly the same ?
I'm just wondering... if Carroll thought this through..
We should email bomb espn
anyone have an email link?
Dude get that fool. At the very least his reputation as a writer has gone to . But hopefully this gets out he can be fired for sure
Creditability is what Carroll should be more concerned with.
The fact that it requires Insider access is pretty lame, tbh. I didn't realize that at first.
timvp probably won't have many legal options but he can definitely get carroll fired.
ESPN gonna ESPN.
ESPN, making you constantly wonder how such clowns keep their jobs in this economy since 1942.
Lawsuit! tbh
Says he went to school at inson College:
http://espn.go.com/nba/coaches/_/id/69/john-carroll
Maybe he needs his degree rescinded.
Idk. I was always taught that even if you're explaining something in your own words you're still supposed to list a source either in text or as a reference at the end.
Ex. In his article "XYZ" (date of publication, required info, etc.), AuthorName put forward...
Although since it looks like the entire article is basically summarizing Timvp's thread, I'm not even sure if that would salvage this particular situation tbh.
I'm thinking he should've quoted Timvp, done a little work on Synergy, and then given some commentary from there? As long as he's honest about not really watching the Spurs and is clearly explaining that his predictions are based on the stats that could've been a decent read still imo.
I wonder how many NBA boards timvp's are there?
Probably ESPN got 30 of them
