I'm amazed at some of the posts equating guys getting disciplined for breaking team rules to UNC beating academic fraud and some of the general you gotta cheat to be successful comments. Then there's the culture building = moral victories posts.
It's not that long ago, we had players getting DUIs, getting popped for underage drinking in parking lots, using fake IDs to try to get into bars, and running over teammates after a night out partying. That's just one coach who couldn't produce any kind of sustained success. There's 3 more coaches that had their own issues with this stuff to varying degrees who couldn't sustain anything resembling success.
If a kid(s) can't follow a few basic rules, then how in the hell are they able to contribute in any meaningful way to building and sustaining success? How can they be trusted to carry out game plans or even execute a play that's drawn up? As a fan, how do you even begin to put faith in players who can't seem to put the team above their own need to break a team rule the night before a roadie?
And that's just the selfish, IU basketball, focused issue at hand. How do these kid(s) amount to anything in life whether it's being fathers, husbands, or contributing members of an organization, if they can't even be trusted to follow some basic rules.
I hope coach sorts out who he thinks can turn it around, if any of them, and then the rest can find their way out the door to go create their next dumpster fire somewhere else.
Flame away!
