Bad taste spreading

Published by jtipton on January 24, 2008 in National news.

Andy Katz, the president of the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, sent an e-mail to members on Thursday that said the crack calls on coaches’ teleconferences is spreading.

Wrote Katz: “Unfortunately we now have a trend. Thursday, the Big East conference call was hit by pranksters just like the SEC call. Marquette’s Tom Crean, West Virginia’s Bob Huggins, South Florida’s Stan Heath, Connecticut’s Jim Calhoun and St. John’s Norm Roberts were all hit with prank callers that were once again crude and crass in nature.

“The Big East then got the situation under control and Providence’s Tim Welsh, Seton Hall’s Bobby Gonzalez and Louisville’s Rick Pitino went through unscathed. The Big East is investigating.”

Katz asked for media members to help in stopping this kind of activity.
