Deadspin has posted an article revealing that an ESPN.com writer -- who is a former NCAA and NBA coach -- has been plagiarizing his columns. What really makes this interesting is that John Carroll (a former head coach at Duquesne) has been lifting column fodder more-or-less whole cloth from SpursTalk.com, a San Antonio Spurs message board. Check out the illuminating comparisons over at Deadspin. This is all extremely interesting and probably not the sort of attention ESPN wants right now. You know, in light of another columnist recently being involved in some ... identity and validity issues.
