    Cheney was a legend at Temple in Philly. People loved the guy. However, if he were in Jimmy Boy's position they'd be like this outside of Philly PD demanding life without parole:

    If you think Cheney is afforded the same deified status that Boeheim is in his respective locality, then you haven't been paying attention.

    I think you misunderstood my post - we agree here.

    Jimmy Boy has 1 rang. You make him sound like John Wooden
    To people living in ty ing Syracuse, he is John Wooden. He had an assistant coach who was caught molesting kids several years ago when there was already public outrage about Penn State, and Syracuse basically said, " it. We're OK with kids being molested if it means that our basketball program can remain relevant."

    Most cops in the Philly area wouldn't even be able to pick Chaney out of a lineup. It's not even the biggest college basketball program in the Philly area (Villanova).

    comparing Don Chaney to Boeheim.

    Spurtacular is right. To the extent the police are trying to gloss over this and move on, it's because of Boeheim's status, not his race. Syracuse basketball is everything to that area, Temple is one of several colleges in a Philly area that also has pro teams in every major sport. He doesn't mean anywhere near as much to the Philly area as Boeheim does to Syracuse.

    If you want an example of a black guy getting bailed out by the local PD, the Tallahassee Police Department did everything it could to botch the investigation into Jameis Winston raping someone at a time when the rape conviction would have cost FSU a national le run, since Tallahassee is similar to Cuse in that it's a town where the success of the college team means everything.
    - whatever you say old privileged one.

    It was never clear if he knew about it so it wasn't the same as Paterno actively trying to cover up for Sandusky, but imo it was still something he should have lost his job over.

    It's not like I like the guy, I just don't think he did anything wrong here.

    So...if you killed a guy. You would be A OK with just "moving on" as if nothing happened?

    I don't know about the pedo stuff. Is that the same stuff with the recruits going to strip clubs? Cos that's not Paterno level by any means. But Boeheim's wife was a part of it, and he definitely got off in favor of the program.

    We're talking about something different now but no, highly unlikely I'd be able to go back to work as if everything was normal 72 hours later.

    He wasn't a serial offender but there was a tape of Fine's wife talking to the ball boy and admitting she know about Fine's behavior, iirc she even said that Fine "Needs the " or something weird like that.

    I think you're confusing Fine's wife with Boeheim's wife.

    Now we agree. I can't fathom for the life of me going back to work as if nothing happened 3 days later.. unless I was a damn Marine. My mind would be ed up - regardless if I were innocent or not. That's just me tho.

    Probably why we're not NCAA basketball coaches. The type of person who can get over killing someone so quickly is also the type of person who has no issue with getting paid millions of dollars to make a bunch of poor black kids bust their ass in practice for 3 hours every day without any compensation.

    I agree that that scandal would've been enough for dismissal from an upright program in any event. Boeheim is untouchable though. This latest episode is just further proof of that.

    He still killed a guy. Would this still be cool if Coach John Thompson did the same thing? Doubtful. Whiteys have a different set of rules. It is what it is.
    the victim ran across the highway when it was dark outside.

    tbh the got what he deserved here for chimping out and not following the proper protocol.

    Although, on a somewhat related note, being old, white, and winning a lot of basketball games is enough to give someone the label "class" and free reign to act like a bag (i.e. Boeheim, Poppovich, etc)

    Boeheim has always been dirty and an asshole. This isn't too surprising. Plus he gets an incredible pass from the NY media and usually better NCAA berths (or even berths at all) than he deserves.

    Relatively speaking. 255 miles and 4 hr 7 min drive is not exactly a killer.
