You cant really comment on a one sided story, no one really knows what made Eli mad, but those of us that are close to him really knows what went down in that office, and if he was your son, you would of been proud

well.uh…I know what the real problem is. My best friend and I were watching the UConn game and Sampson (damn his name for all time). Well, Uconn had two of their three scholarship guards suspended and Sampson never played a zone. Things that make no sense have been happening to our Hoosiers for far too long. It is time to whisper the reason (psst. it's the “curse of the bob”. Example: a perfectly “cordial ” meeting is going on with our current coach and a troubled young player who wants to leave the program. Everything seems respectful and civil until a PLANT FLIED ACROSS THE ROOM FOR NO REASON. ( the curse of the bob)

As much of an impact players as he could be and the amount of playing time and the decision to go else where are secondary to the way he handled the whole episode.

His decision, good or bad, was his to make but the way he has handled himself tells me that Indiana does not want him and will be better off without him. let him go some where else and throw his tantrums and flower pots. It will be his loss not IU's.

Sorry guys, that is the last time I post anything without conducting a thorough background check first.

The current roster looks like a mid level AAU team

PG- Jordan Crawford…with a group of walk-ons backing him up (ahlfeld, fink, 2 freshman walk-ons who I can't recall)…
SG- Devin Dumes…Backed up by Matt Roth
3G- Nick Williams…Backed up by Brandon McGee
PF- Kyle Taber…Backed up by Brandon McGee
C – DeAndre Thomas…Backed up by Tom Pritchard

I would actually feel OK about the team if we were able to keep Armon Bassett on the court, because he can handle the ball and provide another outside scoring threat…

Copobianco / Elston and possibly Van Treese could come in for the '09 season, but we need more guard help too…

We are looking at a 3 year rebuilding project…thank god we locked up Crean for the long haul…

Ok…you are right….thug was a harsh word to use. Its just so difficult to deal with all of this. Indiana basketball is my all-time favoite thing in the world and since 1993 (with the exception of the championship game run) it has just been a nightmare. When will it stop????? I can't take much more. It is just one thing after another. We haven't had any academic problems like this ever…have we??? This is just crazy and just when you think its over……there is something else. The next thing will be loosing 2 more scholarships. I can just feel it. Please Tom Crean make the bleeding stop!!!!

Is this sarcasm…this kid was kicked off his team in high school for making physical contact of an aggressive nature with a ref…

I don't know if this is exactly…”fairly collected” behavior…

Seems to be that he may have some authority or anger management issues, but nothing that is too uncommon with young men in his position…

I wonder where he ends up…I think I hear Caliparri calling him now…

What are you doing reading a Notre Dame board? *gasp*

Not that I didn't just come here from Blue Gray Sky or anything…
