    He's back !

    It wasn't political? Mentioning Trump on a basketball message board isn't political? Further, suggesting that the transformation into a culture where past misdeeds are ignored is a product of Trump somehow? See, that's what the problem was over there. Guys would throw out comments ripping one...

    Anybody going to AAC Tourni?

    I agree with this.

    Well, without researching it, I'm fairly certain the 14th Amendment does not apply to NCAA eligibility rules.

    I owe this man an apology and I hope he accepts it.....Al Gilbert Article

    That's a bit harsh on yourself. If the kid was having psych issues, he should have gotten help and/or quit basketball. Certainly the resources were available to him the last four years, and certainly Dan would have been right there for him. I love the fact that he ended up playing an important...

    On what grounds? Seems very unlikely that high school seniors would have standing to change NCAA eligibility requirements.

    Does this board allow political comments? The main reason that I stopped posting on the other board is I got tired of the dominant political slant peppering every third thread. Not taking a side, or whatever - seriously came here just to talk basketball, and will happily move along without...

    Anybody going to AAC Tourni?

    Well, I'm not sure about this. On the one hand, life happens, and sometimes it doesn't work out and it's time to move on. Also, 5th year seniors hanging around take a spot from incoming freshmen. For every 5th year who gets a year of eligibility, a freshman does not get a scholarship...

    It sucks, but it's the right move. This virus is unlike anything we've ever seen.

    There is very little chance of any post season tournis. At some point, a player is going to test positive, and that will be it.

    Anybody going to AAC Tourni?

    I have a very strong background in molecular biology and virology. As I noted, I'm not particularly concerned about getting covid-19. I am, however, concerned that I book a non-refundable flight and then they decide to not have an audience, in which case I'm out a grand.

    If we end up booking, I'll let you know. The whole corona virus thing has got me spooked - not because I'm afraid to get it, but because I'm afraid they will cancel games and/or play them without audiences. It sounds absurd, but panic leads to poor decision making.

    The Battle of the Polarizing Guards - Dyson vs. Vital

    Funny, I always thought Calhoun had a real blind spot for Dyson. I think Calhoun loved the fact that the guy gave 100% all the time, and was a warrior, so he was blind to the overall impact of the guy. My undying recollection of Dyson will be the guy who would routinely create a reckless TO to...

    Chance of Bouk going pro . . .

    Sounds about right. I was just playing devil's advocate as to why a kid might leave.
