milehiiu Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Simpson. Suspended due to violation of team policies. What ever that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks IUFLA, I was looking at the schedule and was seeing when we play them. Usually this comes back to bit us as they (person suspended) have their 1st game back and go off on who ever they are playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hmm...let's see how people react to Juwan having to suspend a top player vs when Archie had to do it last year and people calling him over his head and a failure as a coach.

Sure...looking at a UM forum, some members were saying it was over a traffic violation? Sounds strange, but if so there'll be a public record out soon enough...

madmax Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 My favorite rumor about this is that he’s dating one Obama’s daughters and that something happened. Almost undoubtedly false, but still, this is what happens when everything is hush hush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is truly the reason for the suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addictedtoIU Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I think Juwan Howard got excited too early and too soon. When they beat Carolina and Gonzaga, he said "We're back on the map.", which was true at that time and they were one of the hottest teams in the country, but I thought he said it too soon. They used to have a very solid culture under Beilein, and Howward basically inherited a lot of his players, but culture is so fragile when an organization has a different leadership. It's hard to build, and it suddenly goes away like a sand castle just when people become content and think they've done an awesome job and don't need more efforts to maintain.

Billingsley99 Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I could see it being a DUI but usually weed gets you 3 games so DUI surely would warrant more than 1 but in our win at all cost programs it may have very well been murder, who knows.

Uh Beilein had them at the top of the map...not sure what he would mean by that...but yes...premature for sure. Good win over the Zags though but we've seen so many teams falter this year I'm not even sure our Hoosiers are back and I have liked what I've seen the past couple weeks.

Yes, Howard replaced a runner on third and acts like he hit a triple. But MI only won 30 games last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I'm always skeptical of a very successful professional basketball player taking a college or even pro coaching job. The successful players are on the floor. The less successful players are on the bench next to the coach watching and learning. Sure, they can recruit, but can they coach and develop once the players are there? You're seeing this play out with Ewing at Georgetown, Penny at Memphis and Howard at Michigan. I'm not sold on any of them at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say it always goes that way as Wooden was a pretty solid coach, but the best players are at a natural disadvantage to the bench warmers when it comes to really learning the strategy of the game. Jordan Hulls is one pretty good player that comes to mind as having the ability to be a good coach. Then again, he was a point guard, kind of like IU's coach. Of the starters/stars, I would give the edge to point guards as I would in football to quarterbacks. We'll see how the experiments at Georgetown, Memphis and Michigan play out. Will these guys have enough talent and bench coaching to hide their strategy deficiencies? Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Bird did a pretty good job for the Pacers but he did delegate a lot of the duties to his assistants. Guys like Larry brown and Toney Bennett were very good players and have now won championships as coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or our own Mike Woodson etc. There are a number of very good coaches / former coaches who played at a high level, but there are also a number of poor coaches who played a high level, it's just a mix.
