addictedtoIU Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Funny thing about indefinite suspension is it can be just 5 games. But it's possible they can sit out the entire season because this fiasco had so much national attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Times like this I realize why I decided to unfollow Brian Snow. Somehow his stupidity ended up in my timeline again. He and others are trying to diminish. Basically saying DUI's kill people and suspensions for those crimes are only 3 games. That these kids shouldn't get more than that. Perhaps people should realize that maybe why our country (and specifically sports) are so out of control is people thinking that shoplifting in a country like China while representing your country, your school, your teammates....is no big deal and should be treated lightly? I have no clue what the appropriate suspension should be. I don't recall boosting sunglasses in China before for any other players. My guess is somewhere around 10 games. Guarantee they are back before they play Kentucky on December 23rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Cheat on a test or plagiarize get expelled. Steal from someone in another country while representing the school. Well not a big deal apparently. Dakich said Steve should kick them off because he will be fired from there anyway and this will give him credibility for his next gig. Very good point. Wrong reason but I think that should be the penalty. Pack their bags and out them on their way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Listening to Fox Sports on SiriusXM. Find it more than humorous that Gottlieb is commenting on this. Called the situation "stupid " but defending kids . Pot/kettle/black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 I would look at their schedule and see when the first tough game is and that is when the suspension ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Couple follow up points. Apparently plenty of discussion according to sources debating whether players should be suspended half a season or full. ESPN article I read said that some are worried that if suspension is full season some are nervous players will transfer. Alford has spent years trying to distant himself from the Pierre Pierce situation. He can't afford to go soft on this one. PS...UCLA barely beat Central Arkansas last night at home by 5.

When Rick Neuheisel was HC of the UCLA FB team, he had three players get in trouble. Not terribly serious. But enough to suspend. Rick suspended all three for the entire season. And all three transferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierJax Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I think UCLA might be done with the youngest Ball also from what I read on ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addictedtoIU Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Can't believe this Lavar Ball guy. Ignorance and entitlement at its worst. Here are some of his comments. Why would any school take his son with the baggage as big as Lavar Ball? "I'm not sitting back and waiting," LaVar Ball told ESPN. "He wasn't punished this bad in China." "We get back over here and the consequences were even stiffer than China. So basically they're in jail here." "I'm going to make him way better for the draft than UCLA ever could have," he said. "He's not transferring to another school," he told ESPN. "The plan is now to get Gelo ready for the NBA draft." "They had him there just to use the Ball family name. They were going to keep the best shooter on the team coming off the bench? That's like telling the Clippers back in the day not to play JJ Redick," LaVar Ball said.

FKIM01 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 God, what a moron. Alford may have a chance to save his job without the Ball family involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Now.... I am convinced. Lavall Ball is certifiably off his rocker. Verdell Jones' father used to make weekly trips from Illinois to Bloomington, to have sit downs with Crean. Feeling Crean was not utilizing Verdell correctly. It was never this bad. In fact by the end of Verdell's career, his dad and Coach Crean were seeing eye to eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 2 minutes ago, CSprings Hoosier said: Proud of our Hoosier Steve for standing firm on that. I'm sure there was some conversation involved between him and Lavar; hopefully the Coach put him undeniably in his place. I wouldn't be so quick to pat Steve on the back. He's probably relieved today that it's over but at the same time he knew what he was doing when he got started with this family. I do feel bad for this one though. He's nowhere even remotely on the G-League let alone NBA roster. His Dad is robbing him of playing college hoops for 3-4 years and having fun with that. From everything I read. This Ball player (pun intended) would be lucky to play overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I really believe the decision to suspend the three thieves came from higher up than Alford. Just think of what Ball's stat's at UCLA will look like in the record books...... 0 points, 0 rebounds, and ONE steal ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
