Does former Newsday columnist Mike Lupica read WatchDog, or do great sports journalism minds just think alike?
Here's me at 7:47 a.m. Tuesday:
But the ESPN crew, led by Bob Knight himself, really went after Memphis and coach John Calipari on SportsCenter. It was good stuff, and they were right, of course.
Just wondering, though: Would they have reacted the same way if the same sins had been committed by a more popular member of the coaching fraternity, say, Coach K?
Thinking . . . thinking . . . thinking . . . um, NO!
Here's Mike in Sunday's Daily News:
I wonder if some of those TV guys who were so quick to jump John Calipari the other night would ever be as quick to jump somebody like the sainted Coach K.

It is as likely that ESPN would go after Coach K as Mike Lupica would attack the team his golfing buddy Jeff Wilpon owns if they blew a 7 game lead with 17 games left.
