Lol… not to Honkyman!!

For the record, I do not think that either Honkyman or brumdog have made any idiotic statements!

Me? Occasionally.  :)

No, I just think statements of opinion stated as “fact” aren’t the right route to go.  It’s why I said I think X will be dismissed unlike H-man’s statement that my “wisdom” (which was never stated more than an opinion) wouldn’t be found out because it wasn’t going to happen.

Yeah, just straight logistically speaking the only place 90 mph is even reasonably possible is north of the bypass and that’s a really tight, winding stretch with trees everywhere. If the report is true, that’s monumentally stupid on X’s part. 

That’s why I questioned the speed. And why is said let’s chill on the whole end of the program, kick him off the team, until the case is closed, ya know like the whole concept of innocent until proven guilty? 
Totally not related to this situation, but it could. when I was a recruiter in the military, I rented a house in a small town. I had to go through the garage to get in the basement because the door to the basement in the house was broken. Anyway, one night around midnight I went into the basement to get something and as I was walking out of the basement I was met at gun point by a sheriffs deputy. The neighbor had called 911. I was put in handcuffs, thrown in the police car, and told I was going to jail for breaking and entering. I pleaded with the officer for like 30 mins as he tried to figure out why no one would answer my door. He must have thought I hurt someone inside because he called for back up to search the residence for the owner cause there was no response. It wasn’t until a supervisor showed up and figured out that I was being accused of breaking into my own house. Come to find out it was a rookie not long after finishing his probationary period. 
 

Moral: the charges for X could have been exaggerated a little, so let’s what and see!

Woodson has been through the full circle of basketball, from player to coach. Most importantly, he's helped raise good children. I may not agree with every game decision he makes, but he is a man of integrity, and I'll trust his personnel decisions.

Was the resisting just from switching seats in the car?

Ultimately, this is my summary takeaway.

Leadership matters, and this program is being led by Mike Woodson, a man of character who I trust.

I “ran a stop sign” once…all it meant to the cop was I didn’t come to a complete stop. One time I “forefeited my lane.” That meant I had out of state plates and they wanted to search my car. Once I “refused to stop.” That meant I didn’t want to pull over on a busy street so I looked for a safer place to stop. 

Yep, not buying it.

That, and likely not immediately pulling over when he was lit up.

And that is a completely legit charge if accurate.

[RaceToTheTop 23,606]

Lost in all of this is we are trying to determine if he could have been going 90 mph in a Dodge Charger when the same questions wouldn’t have been asked about Duke’s Lamborghinis.

That's why I love this forum. We're all idiots on this bus.

BTW, the reason I don't think Xavier will be dismissed is he is a standup guy (goes to school classrooms and talks to kids). I think if he sees Coach Woodson struggling with what to do, he'll just put his name in the transfer portal and be gone. I don't believe this case will wind up anything worse than a fine for excessive speeding. But I don't think Xavier will put Woodson through anguish about it. He'll just move on.

But again.. there are levels.

Hell, some of us are idiots driving the bus.   Others of us are idiots waiting for the Uber at the bus stop.

I thought it was Kansas and Lambos? Love it how they have only gotten better since the NCAA called them cheaters

[JSHoosier 19,568]

This would be incredibly stupid on his part if it was his 1st incident, but it's his 2nd that we know of and it's considerably worse than breaking curfew.  At some point it's not longer a stupid mistake and a message needs sent.

Shooting more?  That's not a punishment, the whole team should be doing that anyway as bad as we were.

Personally, if I was a parent of a recruit I'd have a bigger problem if he just got a slap on the wrist.

They are doing this with lower level recruits by Kansas standards. Lol.  It was all a blessing in disguise for them to tamp down the cheating just a little bit.

However next year “NiL” has them back on the map again.  Cheating can resume and they have 4 guys in the top 50 after 2-3 years of “down” recruiting.

Does anybody know if he was drinking?

Has not been mentioned in any released report so I believe the assumption is he wasn’t.
