AT suspended

jasonpeoria911 said:
It's not technically a Les Vs Ford thing with handing out the discipline. A lot of the influence in discipline decisions comes from the top dog, President Glasser. I'm not sure what AT did, but if it was something crime or non-basketball activity related, then more than likely, the suspension was ordered by Glasser and "agreed" upon by Ford. Ford is new, you think he really going to start overruling the President?

It's pretty clear that everyone has moved on. :roll:

I wasn't a part of the he said/he said battle that went on at the time of Jim's dismissal, but it looks to me like both sides claim to have moved on yet continue to comment about the other faction.

My two cents on the situation is this. Geno is indeed responsible for what goes on with the basketball program day in and day out. That being said, I don't feel that that the behavior of players that he didn't recruit reflects as poorly on him as the behavior of those who he brings to campus.

I was not a Les hater just thought it was time to move on, Geno did not bring Thompson here so it is not his fault that Thompson has an attitude problem, A.T. if you are reading this for motivation then you need to grow up as you have been here for 5 years and it is time for you to put up or shut up, plain and simple.

Couldn't we say that this is the third? First, losing Egolf for the season due to injury, then TB being suspended, and now this? I know that the Egolf injury happened a while ago, but still that's 3 bad things that have happened to this team before the season even started. The worst part is that it dealt with all 3 of our seniors.

I am not at all convinced that AT nor anyone has any attitude issue that isn't common and ubiquitous among college basketball players....
but someone's tolerance has changed and it's hard to stay on a tightrope..

Well again, just to clarify since I am one of those who was part of the he said/he said "battle", my purpose of my above post was to point out the flack that Les received when he was faced with the same sort of issues that Geno is now dealing with. I was just curious to see how Geno was treated by the fans compared with Les.

I have moved on, but since you brought it up OC, I just wanted to clarify the point. :)
 
Coaches can really only be accountable for the quality of the people they recruit/bring into their program ..

JL and GF acted appropriately with discipline for their players....

Disappointment would only come from coaches overlooking players failing their responsibilities, or, not eliminating players who repeatedly fail in their responsibilities.

AT = grow a set son!

99% of the males who back BU Basketball would follow any rules, and probably give their left nut, to be 6'11", play basketball, and get a full ride to play at BU in the MVC for 5 years.

You apparently have forgotten how lucky you are and apparently believe rules are for others, or, if you find them cumbersome, ignore them.

Don't waste your last chance to be relevant for BU Basketball...

If I'm giving up a nut, I'm playing for a national championship, not playing at Bradley. :razz:
