Calipari: revealing mistake vs. fell through the cracks

This story is interesting on at least two levels...

From Brett Dawson in the hard copy of the C-J this morning, I read about the transfer of three scholarship players AND the dismissal of UK's walk-ons. The dismissal of the walk-ons looks particularly bad because Landon Slone says he couldn't get a "five-minute" meeting with Calipari or even get anyone to return his phone calls.

In the web edition of the story, only the scholarship players are discussed. About the walk-ons, we only get an updated post-script on Brett's blog: a report of a Tweeter-ed apology from Calipari to Slone.

So, let's talk about the on-line coverage first. Two options: Do you print the original story with an update-- or just the apology? If I trust Landon Stone, I would have gone with the former.

Second, does this tell us anything about Calipari? Is this a sign of flawed character (mistreating vulnerable people) or a flaw in what must be an incredibly busy process? Is the apology genuine-- or given that he's been busted, that's what he has to do to put out the fire?
