Emmitt Holt dismissed from team

[VO5 8,272]

The inconsistencies within the leadership positions of this program are laughable.

Tough shake for Emmitt but I understand why.

Has anybody heard anything more about Perea being involved in this incident? Saw it on the Twitter but didn't seem to have substance

He was there.

Source of a lot of IU's troubles.

At what point in time does all of this land on the administration? Obviously, Crean should have been gone 2 years ago, but Glass' legacy is tied to a contract and not with Adidas. McRobbie would make a nice trifecta; I have never said this previously but he doesn't understand basketball at Indiana and never will. Is the NCAA hiring? He could conveniently commute from Bloomington. The slate is clean for the new president to get his ad to get his coach.

If that's accurate, you have to think that getting in trouble hanging out with Hanner, a former player that was dismissed for similar reasons, is almost more the reason for Holt's dismissal. You have to be really dumb to be on a basically zero tolerance, then go out partying with Hanner and bring two freshmen with you.

He was there.

This decision is consistent with the one that saw HMP and DD dismissals. I believe it is the proper course of action.

He'll probably be scooped up quickly by a D1 program. Its to bad he chose that path. He could've been special.

As Coach K once said:
 

• There are five fundamental qualities that make every team great: communication, trust, collective responsibility, caring and pride. I like to think of each as a separate finger on the fist. Any one individually is important. But all of them together are unbeatable.

Ha ha. Almost as good as Bruce Weber's fist speech before going down in the champinship game. Classic team motivation.

Apparently a second IU basketball freshman was at the scene of the citation according to mike miller

 

Can you cite this one? I don't doubt it, but would be interested to see proof of that.

[Alford Bailey 12,384]

Nobody should be surprised here. Zero tolerance means just that. Crean HAD to let Emmitt go.

I have seen this in a few stories released today. One being the Indy Star article on the dismissal.

It appears Emmit Holt's final violation was compounded by the fact he was in the company of Hanner Perea.

@JeffRabjohns
Two Indiana freshmen basketball players were at the latest incident, IU AD Fred Glass said.

[AZ Hoosier 7,169]

I think the phrase "team chemistry" is overworked but what is the impact on this year's team?  Does this latest incident bring the team closer together or does it create a rift with behind the scenes finger pointing among the players?  And what does this do to the team as individuals and how they view and respect their coach?  Rhetorical questions that may or may not be answered as the season progresses.  For what it's worth, I do envision additional openings on next year's roster over and above the ones we all pretty much agree on.

 

Good thoughts there, Old Fart. I'm sure we will see the answer soon enough. I can see it going both ways, but if maturity prevails, they will grow and grow together.

[schoosier 3,480]

This decision is consistent with the one that saw HMP and DD dismissals. I believe it is the proper course of action.

But its inconsistent with Troy and Stans multiple failed drug tests and the course of action taken there. No consistency or real punishment until it's really too late to salvage his career. Look no further than a 2 game suspension Hanner received for a DUI or preseason game punishments handed out to Stan and Troy. I also believe what Crean's done now is proper and deserving, but his lack of this previously has led his team to many of the same mistakes. Wonder why?

That would require this team showing maturity, they sure as heck haven't done much of that.

It it's true that Perea was there, this whole scenario is beyond belief. To quote Forest Gump, "stupid is as stupid does".

Yeah, I'm reading through the thread and already saw one post... again, seems believable... the Hanner connection just seems surreal.
