I think I'll back the coach on this one. He is, after all, in charge of the program. Yes, young college age men are capable of doing a lot of stupid things. Posters have verified this fact many times by recounting their own mis-adventures in college. However, being answerable to a commitment you made to the team is an important lesson to learn and I trust CMW far more than any poster on this forum to determine penalties for team rule violations. He played the game at IU when IU Basketball actually was significant. He, himself, got punished when he broke team rules. He has also played the game at the highest level. He spent a life time coaching the best players in the game and dealing with their various indiscretions. Above all, he knows what it takes for a young man to be successful at the game. Yes, I'll go with the CMW on this one. No questions asked, do what you think needs to be done, Mike.
