If I’m the University of Memphis and about to go to war with the NCAA on their home court under their rules, I want Derrick Rose on my side, in the flesh and unredacted. Otherwise, no dice. I take a punch and fight another day.
Refusing to be bullied is admirable. But if UM had stood up to former basketball coach John Calipari and former star player (and reluctant witness) Rose, it might not be in a fix with the bullies at the NCAA Infractions Committee.
