Devin Davis injured/Emmitt Holt cited for DUI

[Bigdaddy76 111]

Prayers and well wishes to both of these young men and their families for a speedy recovery. That being said, I am afraid that this does fall sqarely on the coach and his staff. For those of you who say that a coach is not responsible for his players at all times, I say this. When you are part of a team that has a strong disciplinarian as the head coach, you know what is expected of you a ALL times. There is never a time that you don't put team before I in any situation. It is sad to me that this is what not only this program, but a vast majority of programs have become over the years. This is not just an IU problem, but a society problem as well. Young adults these days have a "me" mentality for the most part. The days are gone of working towards a common goal as a unit for the betterment of the whole. Its about what can I get right now. I know, a lot of the less experienced on here will say that I am just an old fart, and out of touch with todays reality. But all you have to do is look around at sports landscape. Its not about team anymore. Its about me. Johnny Manziel, Cam Newton, the kid at Georgia who's name escapes me at this moment. Looking at the facts that we have rt. now. These guys had a scrimmage the next day. They should not have been out drinking the nt before. I feel very sad for them, but if they had not put themselves in that situation, none of this would have happened. Its all about accountability. That is something that I believe that this particular staff just doesn't seem to teach, or at least if they do, they show no consequences after the fact. When we talk during the season about them playing undisciplined and having 20 turnovers a game. That is a direct reflction of what the players expectations are off the court as well.

All of us have been injured. All of us have been heartbroken. What we needed the most was the unqualified love of our family as we healed. Everyone on this post loves IU and these vulnerable guys. I am so proud to be a Hoosier just feeling the support for them on these pages.

obviously we're all pulling for devin to make a full recovery and play the game he loves again.  please be on the lookout for updates on emmitt's mental well-being and energy in practice.  only reason I keep checking these two threads.  can only imagine what he's going through right now.  he's 18, a long way from home, the newest arrival in bloomington and probably feels guilty for letting his team and hoosiernation down on a grand scale, even though this could happen to anybody.  not to mention thinking about what devin's family is going through.  hope he knows we care for his well-being and aren't banishing him.  I really want to see him bounce back and contribute in the paint this year and the next three.  by all accounts, everything I've read of him and all interviews I've watched, he seems to be a very classy young man.

To be honest, no one cares who is to blame. We're worried about Devin, his family, Emmitt and the rest of the team.

This is my first comment on this situation because I don't know all of the facts. I will say however that I hope DD has a speedy recovery. Also, hope that E Holt is alright mentally. I'm sure he is having a tough go as well.

I have been praying for these guys!
Get well soon fellas!

Couldn't disagree more

I am not sure how you can disagree. However, that is a discussion for another day. Lets just hope these young men and the families can recover so that it will not affect the rest of their lives. I am sure that is something we can all agree on.

So does anyone know whether it was a fractured skull?

[TomPritchard25 526]

That would be fine. Captains are leaders are they not?

then the captain would have to exemplify it. Steve Alford's book about IU, he said they practiced so hard all they wanted to do was go bCk to the dorm and sleep.

I can't see Yogi exemplifying a curfew. NZ3 is somebody I could see doing it. But, maybe he doesn't have enough pull on the team yet.

What is it that you know about NZ that tells you he would or wouldn't do anything

True. That is what takes top priority in all of this. Hopefully both of these guys can come out better and stronger people from this and can learn from this past incident.

Glad to hear DD is doing well so far!  Healing first---blame later--- as the facts come out!

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Good news so far---but not much detail yet----don't know whether to expect a long or short term recovery.

 

Keep up the prayers Hoosier Nation for DD and Holt and both their families!

None of us know.

Not sure if it has anything to do with this situation, but chronic hoosier's last tweet is a little concerning

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Can you share more info---VO5?

I'm not exactly sure how to link the tweet, but it says, "The captain has turned on the fasten seat belt sign." I'm not trying to speculate but chronic is pretty connected to the program I believe.

Or it could mean he's on a flight and has to turn off his phone for a while.

 

People look WAY too much into things.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Appreciate the info---hope it's an unrelated tweet.

[Basketball4iU 2,006]

Not sure if it has anything to do with this situation, but chronic hoosier's last tweet is a little concerning

it is about an article written by the star, that is talking about the players liking CTC and if they did why does this stuff keep happening. He is stating it is not about liking but respect
