(Ed. Note: We will be doing a 10 part series, one a day on the 10 "most embarrassing" moments in college basketball. Now "most embarrassing" is subjective and we will admit it is only what's embarrassing to us. Also the time frame for this is since Dr. Naismith, whippersnappers.)
Moment #4 - You can't say that on television! Boeheim "defends" McNamara
We can understand Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim being upset at the media's criticism of his star guard Gerry McNamara. Heck, we can even understand Boeheim letting the press have it for their "overrated" comments about McNamara. But what we can't understand was the profanity laced tirade he unleashed on national television.
And the look on his assistant coach's face during this was priceless. Way to go, coach...

This was a Big East press conference that was not on any network live at the time. So it really wasn't on national television. It was only after it happened did it wind up on ESPN, censored of course. At least if you are gonna say this is the #4 "most embarassing moment" put it in the correct context.
Your points are well taken, Brian. However there is no need to put anything in the correct context since it is only what is deemed embarrassing to us regardless of your technicalities.
Btw, it was broadcast live.
This is way too high. there have been murder coverups in college basketball. Where is the Minnesota scandal on the list? Players not even taking tests, and the whole school knows it? really? because a dude swore?
