Yes--this is most distressing. Sports-Reference calculates a defensive rating for each player and our player ratings are abysmal. Most players are in the 124-128 range (the lower the better) with three exceptions: Pridgen 116.0; Faw 118.4; Copeland 120.3. Those numbers are also really weak, just not as horrendous as their teammates

Per Fatam Breaston, the 4 frosh were rolling Cee-Lo for singles in the plane's aisle during the flight down and spilled a drank on Ginsberg who ratted them out to Half-Nelson. ASSUMING this is true, I have some issues Why is Ginsberg ratting them out? He is the DOBO, a position of authority. Why didn't he tell them to knock it off? Same can be said of tri captains LeSann, Copeland, and Butler. I have a pet-peeve that as a society we teach athletes that the rules don't apply to them. Our freshmen might sincerely believe that a team rule against a friendly game of chance isn't a real rule. That's where the older players step in and tell the kids how it is. On the other hand, I applaud Coach Nelson for dealing with the issue

Who knows what happened...talk to them. Team needs a W, benching for a half, might as well concede the game. I'm not patient

Thrilled to be back on the Board. Wife & I drove to Boca from Venice, FL (which is half hour south of Sarasota). Staying for all the games. Ran into the usual suspects, especially sader81. FAU was raining 3s last nite. Clearly quicker than us and outmuscled us at the rim. If all our players had been available from the start, might have been more competitive. It's vital that our players and coaches keep their morale at a high level. They're all doing their best. We need lots of patience. Parents spent 25+/- years in Venice ‘til they went to their rewards. Lots of great memories from visits. Jacaranda West still running (under its new ownership)? Please send a Grouper sandwich from Sharky’s! We live in Jacaranda West (S. Doral Lane)! Sharky's renovated, upstairs dining room called "Finn's"

Nice to know purgatory is only a couple years. I’m expecting a couple eons myself!

On the other hand, I applaud Coach Nelson for dealing with the issue I responded to the original post by Meat that it sounded logical, I'd go with it and it is nice to have a wired inside source. But I did that only because I love Meat's sense of humor. I had no idea what Cee-lo was or who the character Fatam Breaston is or that rolling referred to gambling. I just enjoy Meat's audacity. My best guess would be the freshman were taking the tournament too much like a vacation instead of a business trip and the partial benching will be the best thing for all involved. Maybe we will get more insight if Coach Wade addresses it on Twitter. Tim usually updates us after his tweets.

I just googled Fatam Breaston and it says "Do you mean Fathom Boston?". Then there is a link to a Crossports thread "2019-2020 Coaching Staff."

Not a clue who Fatam Beason is. I'm gathering from reading other posts that this is all sarcasm that I just missed. I took the post as sincere, but emphasized the assumption because even a sincere spreading of a rumor is not always accurate.

Forget the speculation. Whatever it was, it is obviously now water over the dam as the players are all back playing.
Whatever it was couldn't be too serious if they were benched for only 1/2 a game. To me, that was simply a Brett Nelson warning shot over the bow. And this game was not a big deal in the longer, glorious history of Holy Cross basketball.
