Right, let's not call it a "punch."  It was some sort of girliman slap.  

But rather than fire, suspend, etc. treat them like the babies that they are.  Just put the two the them at center court, shirts off, and wiffle ball bats in hand.  They can take turns smacking each other with plastic bats (no head shots) and all the money goes to charity.  What a way to start off the Big 10 Tourney.  

Let's keep the shirts on.

I recall seeing a shirtless Juwan scrimmaging with MJ and the boys during "The Last Dance." And he was fine.

But now you've put an image of Greg Gard without a shirt in my mind. I just vomited in my mouth. Twice.

Not surprised, a few of the players that threw punches should receive the same. I have my doubts Gard will receive much. He might get an episode on The Journey about how he was a victim.

It's crazy how a player gets 3 games for smoking weed but only 1 game for trying to hurt someone.

Let's not forget 6 games for - gasp - bumper stickers!

Gard definitely should’ve been suspended for a game. He was a big instigator in the situation.

Wasn’t that 9 games?

[Stuhoo 75,740]

Bumper stickers was a looooooooong time ago. I’m sure of that because it happened when I was at IU and I. Am. Old(ish)

You are correct.   I didn't bother to look it up.  I just remembered it was a ridiculous number for an infraction that pales in comparison to Howard getting 5 games.

See, rather than do something as pathetic as that, I’d rather they just say, “ Yeah, no, we’re not doing anything about this. We’re cheap, dirty instigators. That’s our brand. F you if you don’t like it.” At least it would have the virtue of honesty.

Greg Gard getting fined $10,000 is just flat stupid.  Fine's don't effect coaches.  If it's fineable, it's suspendable.

Idk…he won’t start making money again until like the under-4 timeout on Wednesday. In the words of American Hero Joe Exotic; “I’ll never financially recover from this.”

Greg Gard got no suspension st all?  Un freaking acceptable.  Dude turned a verbal altercation into a physical altercation.  Ridiculous.

February for us has... Sucked... But before February... Not as doom and gloom...

2017: 14-8(4-5) Creans last season. At this point, could still have made some noise and had wins over Kansas, North Carolina and Michigan State. Some bad losses so it would have been an uphill battle but we were on the edge of the cliff and hadn't fallen just yet I guess... Probably holding onto the edge of the cliff ..

2018: 12-11(4-5) Archie's first year. The embarrassing losses to Indiana State and IPFW by 20. That season really had no hope after game #1. That pretty much set the tone for Archie's time at Indiana. 

2019: 12-9(3-7) We were already on a 7 game losing streak going into February. Sad thing is, before that were 12-2(3-0) and ranked in the Top 25.

2020: 15-6(5-5) This season had some hope. A minimal amount. We had lost two games at the end of January, the 1 point loss to Maryland(the day Kobe died) and then a 15 point loss to a ranked Penn State. That followed by a 9 point loss to OSU, 12 point loss to PU, 12 point win against Iowa and a 24 point loss drubbing from Michigan. But this team ended with some of making the tourney until everyone dreams were smashed and we all ended up watching reruns of games all summer. 

2021: 9-7(4-5) No hope last season. It ended even worse. But even going into February, there was zero hope. 

2022: 14-5(7-4) We actually had hope this year! Actually had somewhat of a decent feeling heading into February. The problem was... It became February. And we are on a 5 game losing streak in the month of February. Now the season is quickly coming to an end.

Everything else you said about the other seasons was spot on but saying there was no hope last year would of been false.   IU was 12-9 (7-7) mid February with playing a top 5 SOS in a shortened season going into the Sparty game who was (4-9) in league play.     Sparty won out pretty much and got in being 2 games over .500 and IU lost out finishing 12-15.     IU was setting in a good spot heading into that game.   The rest is history but there was hope that year also
