Yep. Remember the trip to Alaska that resulted in three players being dismissed? Trying to remember now...seems like it was Roberson, Cox and one other?

 

Tommy Baker was the 3rd.  Link to one article:  https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=861&dat=19781213&id=F9RSAAAAIBAJ&sjid=qn8DAAAAIBAJ&pg=5451,3523311&hl=en

I'm so tired of seeing "it's common place" as an excuse for kids that get busted with dope. You know what isn't common place? Playing basketball for IU. You know how many kids grow up in the state of Indiana with that dream? How many HS seniors that will never play organized basketball again after their last HS game would give anything to be in those candy stripes? I don't care what your personal stance is on the substance as a player at IU you have to understand that you aren't the common college student. You are held to a higher standard. It is against the rules and you must act accordingly. If you can't do something as simple as saying no to weed when given this great and rewarding opportunity at IU you need to look in the mirror and re-evaluate yourself as a person. I'm sure some will call me boring, a square, or whatever. At the end of the day anything worth having involves some sacrifice. In this particular case not having weed in your damn room.

Well said. Now, lets all hit the like button.

What's "chicken sh*t" about holding kids accountable? Hanner was there when it went down. What did he do to change the situation? Nada. Legally, he's an accomplice. It's way more than "guilt by association". It's being there.

 

"Guilt by association" would be where DD did something wrong and Hanner is blamed/included because he has associated with DD. What happened is that something went down and both DD and Hanner were present at the scene.

I mean legally, that's not exactly how accomplice liability works. But, you know, whatever.

[SteelerHoosier 2,586]

Oh my god! He got caught with weed? It's a travesty! Lol. WTF? Change this law and get it over with. Tax it and pave our roads! Enough said !

 

The issue is deeper than that.

[JSHoosier 19,846]

@Stillman~ It is a big deal. The team was told "Zero tolerance". Yet once again, a player (insert any name) broke a FRIGGIN regulation that the NCAA says is punishable. It doesn't matter if "marijuana is commonplace in college or out of college". If you want to play in the NCAA you have to abide by the rules/regulations. If you break a rule, any rule....you should face punishment. The rules have NOT been adhered to with Indiana men's basketball. Rules continue to be broken. As a leader, you have to assume responsibility and take responsibility for your actions (your team's actions). Leadership 101

 

If you do not lead, you are not a leader....you are an oxygen thief and let someone else lead. Leading is dishing out punishment to people who break the rules. If they cannot adhere to the rules (for which they sign a letter of acceptance every year) then you cannot be a member of that community. They chose to play DIV 1 basketball and so if the NCAA says, "to play, you cannot eat cake on Friday",.......Don't friggin' eat cake on Friday! wait until you graduate or leave school before you eat cake!

Not just NCAA regulation, but as it stands still against the law.

Sigh, all disappointment aside I just hate that we're on this topic again just like last summer and not talking basketball.

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,256]

I forgot that it is still a law in Indiana. I'm in a marijuana free state up here in Alaska

1. Drug test them both.
2. If they fail, they are gone.
Fairly simple as both have had 1 strike issues previously which should have been outlined by Crean and their counselors. We could get into the semantics of pro pot or not, but possession or failing a drug test is against the athletic student handbook. Outside of the obvious, how dumb can you be to light up in a dorm room especially in this day and age? They could have easily have taken a walk off campus and puffed away or gone over to an off campus friends house who is probably growing it. Then factor carrying enough to get busted for possession. Just dumb and dumber which seems to be the common theme of some of these players. The terrible decisions on the court pale in comparison to those off the court.

"Cool Dad" thinks you're boring, a square, and a narc. ;)

Geese also look and walk like ducks....just sayin'

[southernindianahoosier 422]

This isn't true.

If they athletes no longer use the red backpacks with their number on them and a badge that indicates who it belongs to, then I apologize.

Yeah I didn't mean any offence by it, I was just saying I know the basketball players don't use them because I've always noticed Devin's backpack in class. It's...interesting. Lol

[swatford 1,235]

Its kid of ironic when you think about it. If Crean hadn't forced the team to live on campus this year as a result of last summer's events this wouldn't have been an issue.

So I guess we CAN all blame Crean!
