While I would not equate the loss of a teammate's life in any kind of accident with being suspended for investigation of wrongdoing, it would seem to be an extreme position to the other end of the spectrum to think the latter would not also be a big distraction . . . Just checked my Roget's and found that "distraction" and "grief" are not synonyms. Frankly, a couple folks here have gone off the deep end trying to make them so. Believe it would be a great idea for Pat, Ziggy, Marcellis, and Jehyve to organize a "players only" meeting to hash things out and re-focus the team for the rest of conference play.

Please, don't go to Roget's for such info...I would recommend the Dictionary of Counseling by Samuel Gladding.
I agree with you that such a team meeting could be very valuable.

I couldn't follow the game, and when I saw the score in the paper this morning I thought it must be a typo.

Sort of like what TheScore app cruelly did to me at halftime of the Manhattan game being played in Belfast.

Not at all. A "loss" is experienced as a "loss," the cause of the loss is secondary. The comparison is not preposterous to anyone who knows the dynamics of grief after a loss. Grief follows the forcible loss of someone or something precious. That can cover a wide variety of experiences. On effect can be impaired short term memory and slower (in relative terms) hand/eye coordination. Teammates being suspended for selfishness and knowingly breaking NCAA rules does not lead to “grief.” This is basketball, not life or death. A friend tragically dying in a car accident is not even in the same stratosphere as a basketball suspension. Being left short handed because someone who should have been a leader of the team got himself suspended should lead to being pissed off, not grief or suffering. In my opinion, you are so blinded by your agenda that you cannot analyze any of the issues facing the team with even a modicum of objectivity.

In my opinion, you are so blinded by your agenda that you cannot analyze any of the issues facing the team with even a modicum of objectivity. In my opinion, you aren’t paying close enough attention if you don’t see the terrible shape that the program is in. For the seemingly millionth time, my only “agenda” is for HC to not suck at basketball anymore. If you want to check my record, I have been right on the money with virtually all of my analysis on the basketball program. One example I was just recently thinking about was a discussion after the South Carolina State game last year when I was advocating for Floyd to get more playing time because we had a much higher ceiling with him than Matt Husek. I was accused of thinking that only because of my “agenda” and that Matt Husek was a much better fit for Carmody’s system.

It is my belief that we too often accuse others on this board of having an "agenda" when their opinions differ from the majority.
I get that repetitiveness can get annoying but this is a DISCUSSION board.

There may be some (or one) who think they can snake around the PM section to try and create "agenda" stories because they want to try to promote individuals who they have a "business relationship" with (talk about an "agenda!"). It would be laughable if it wasn't pathetic.

You mean like some (or one) who has hysterical hate of NP because of a "personal relationship". That's laughable and pathetic.

A discussion is "consideration of a question in open and usually informal debate" not repeating the same thing over and over which is not consideration, just repetition. Saying the same thing repeatedly is not going to win converts, it just is a way for others to entrench themselves in deeper opposition. If doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity; how different is saying the same thing over and over again and expecting people to change their opinion any more sane?
