Not sure I have seen the exact statement but here is an article from Kentucky media criticizing the statement as very weak. -
I think the NCAA should assign Higgins to referee everyone of Kentucky's games next year then immediately declare a forfeit by Kentucky due to the extreme danger presented by the Kentucky fan base. This will continue unitl Kentucky takes concrete steps to effectively address and deal with the harrassment and threats that were made by their fan base.Originally posted by WuDrWu View PostComment

Here it is:
On Wednesday, Kentucky released a statement promoting good sportsmanship by Wildcats fans.
"While we were all disappointed to see a memorable season end on Sunday and we appreciate the support our fans showed our student-athletes all year, we encourage our fans to demonstrate good sportsmanship to everyone and discourage any other kind of behavior," the statement said.
Calipari also tweeted on the subject:

I agree wholeheartedly and hope he comes back to officiate. I love to bash on officials and think they're fair game as long as they're in their "official" capacity. As far as I have always been concerned, these guys didn't even exist outside of the court. I did believe that a fair number of them made officiating a near full-time occupation. The concept of tracking someone down and trying to ruin their family's life let's me know that people have really gone too far in how much they care about sports. They need to develop some hobbies.Originally posted by WuDrWu View Post
That being said, someone needs to track down @ShockRef: and save Graham Hatch before it's too late.

Can the NCAA punish a school for what its fanbase does? If they do it during a game they can, but this is a blatant lack of institutional control and indifference by UK.Originally posted by ShockerPhi View PostPeople who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. -Isaac Asimov

Not only has Calipari been extremely weak on this but he basicallly lit the spark with his immediate post game comments about being lucky to be in the game with all his players being fouled out or in foul trouble. He hasn't come close to walking that back in any way shape or form.Originally posted by ShockerPhi View Post
The only conclusion you can come to is that privately Kentucky and Calipari are okay with how Higgins, his family and his business have been harrassed, abused and threatened.Comment

Maybe the refs should get together and agree to boycott calling Kentucky games. I'm pretty sure that would never happen but it would make a statement.
By the way, I took a look at the Kentucky board to see if they had calmed down after a couple weeks had passed. Nope. They are all, and I mean all, quite proud of what they have done to Higgins.Comment

They are complete trash of a fanbase. Would love to meet those toothless hillbillies in person."He called me around noon and was thrilled," Brandt said. "He said he was going to be a Shocker forever." -- RIP Guy, you WILL indeed be a Shocker forever!Comment
