  1. Morally ? Probably ….optically ? Probably ….I think the problem is the prevailing fear that if you take an administrative action and NOTHING ever comes to light that would implicate miller criminally or, worse , if something clearly exculpatory is brought into the public domain now you’re going to deal with not only the wrath of the school and fanbase but also the direct brunt of our fair weather/ bandwagon media who will jump on whatever the trend du jour is. headline: NCAA unfairly ruins alabamas best historical season and drastically damages top prospects draft status ( probably written more dramatically )
  2. Interesting for sure but with where they sit I think there is too much on the line for them to shut it down ….I think they would have to become aware of additional circumstances/evidence that is likely to clearly implicate miller.
  3. Speculation here …every case is SUPPOSED to be handled the same regardless of who the victim is and regardless of who the alleged offender is…. that being said, it doesn’t always shake out that way. I’ve done no research into the prosecutors current election cycle , prosecutorial history, or political affiliation but just evaluating generally my guess is he or she is going to be slow to file any formal charge against miller even if initial information supports it. The following are substantial factors 1. It’s going to be a high profile case so you either show off for the cameras or you’re careful not to make a mistake to look stupid when the magnifying glass is on you 2. It’s unfortunate that our current climate is what it is but millers race has to factor into the timing decision because you don’t want the aclu or Ben crump ripping you for filing a formal charge without sufficient position to do so. Well founded filings are scrutinized …Reactionary filings are crucified so if you decide to charge him make sure you’re right first 3. A slight delay could let miller finish his season so even if you choose to charge him you haven’t alienated a fan base that may make up a large portion or your electorate and you also may win favor with the university which could carry political influence
  4. I had not seen that. You are definitely correct If I was prosecuting the case that would be a central component to determining if he should be charged. Any other information that comes to light that suggests prior knowledge increased the likelihood he may face some criminal liability.
  5. It’s definitely a pickle …I read an article that mentioned some facts that allegedly came from arrest affidavits…without being intimately familiar with Alabama laws ( as they may differ slightly, in a general sense, from Indiana criminal code), the most interesting point of the fact pattern for me was a mention of millet having parked his vehicle in such a way that appeared to impede the movement of the victims vehicle. The potential for criminal liability ( or defense therefrom) hinges primarily on miller having knowledge of his friends intent to commit a crime or if he should have been reasonably aware. He could hold a position of plausible deniability if he had no knowledge of a potential conflict and simply brought the firearm at his friends request. If he had further detail of the purpose for the request ( which purposefully boxing in a car could suggest via circumstantial evidence) he could open himself to co-conspirator ,felony actor, accomplice , or vicarious liability
  6. Castle grad ….will hit open shots which we could really really really use
  7. I mean all coaches are kind of getting cut off at the knees there …you’ve never had to cater to kids more so than now
  8. No that’s the sad part …if you have the athletic ability they will get you in regardless of red flags or liability and they don’t care about much more than the w’s or the l’s and in the world of nil you can’t be too hard on the kids or they leave
  9. Makes them very fun to watch …Blackmon was shooting really poorly to start the season but has picked it up big time in the last 5 games and josh smith is a double double machine …you might see them in the NCAA tourney this year or next …they almost got Pete suder from Carmel too who ended up at bellarmine ……I went through all the qualified shooters who are 40% from three and only two players in the country are shooting 50/40/90, luke brown is the only one shooting 50/50/90
  10. True even the people who really didn’t like him were fair about that I think the main knock was he could shoot against small high schools but he wouldn’t be able to against D1 defense and the ASUN isn’t a power conference but they’ve played Florida state Florida ucf and south Florida on top of their conference so I also wouldn’t say it’s been a cake walk
  11. Halfway through and there is an indiana kid leading the country in 3pt percentage

  13. Stetson game tonight brown 20 on 7-10 from field and 6-7 from three. Blackmon 21 on 7-11 shooting. Josh smith with 16 and 9 boards. Indiana kids put up 57 points and brown and blackmon have combined for 96 the last two games suder was solid for bellarmine also with 14 but Stetson blew them out from the tip
  14. First in person game today in several years …anyone else going ? Northwestern has been playing solid …looking forward to an iu win and seeing a healthy barnhizer for northwestern
