What's going on with IU hoops?
Indiana suspended Troy Williams and Stanford Robinson today over failed drug tests. This comes just days after Devin Davis jumped in front of Emmit Holt's car. Holt and Davis were drunk. All four players got four game suspensions, even though Devin Davis is in the hospital. Interesting, lenient punishments.
Will be an interesting story to follow as Indiana is already thin at all positions as Noah Vonleh (NBA), and Will Sheehy (graduated) are gone. Sheehy and Vonleh were second and third in minutes played for the Hoosiers last year behind Yogi Ferrel. Robinson and WIlliams were fourth and seventh in minutes played.
Jeremy Hollowell, who was fifth in minutes played last year, transfered to Georgia State. Luke Fischer who played 10 min per game last year, transfered to Marquette. Austin Etherington who also played more than 10 min per game, transfered to Butler.
So to recap, Indiana lost 5 of their top 11 this offseason. And another three of their top 11 are suspended the first four games.
Indiana plays MSVSU, Texas Southern, SMU and Lamar to open the season. SMU looks like a gauranteed loss. I wonder if Yogi Ferrell, Hanner Mosquera-Perea and a bunch of freshman and walk ons can beat any of the other teams?

Beats me why IU hasn't dumped that bag.

Understandable mistake.
November 3rd, 2014 at 10:32 PM ^
but he is underage. Four game suspensions don't sound lenient for him and Davis.
November 4th, 2014 at 11:56 AM ^
Agreed. Unless I'm missing something 4 games seems like plenty to me.
November 3rd, 2014 at 10:33 PM ^
I don't think Holt was drunk given his BAC was .025 or .005 over the w/e the law is called that's lesser than .08. Either way he wasn't wasted as people have jumped to conclusions over..
Very unfortunate..

During a long rant about Indiana basketball, Dan Dakich floated the idea of taking a long look at Tom Crean's contract to see if he could be fired for cause after all these incidents in the past year. SO WE DID.

what your comment says.

Crazy how Crean went from having the top recruiting classes and Sweet 16s (albeit underperforming given the level of talent he had 2 years ago) to this...
November 4th, 2014 at 1:10 AM ^
He's short, but they're saying he and Yogi make quite a pair.

Your logic is sound.

Absolutely the biggest self righteous douche in the Big10. IU deserves better. So glad we have Beilein.

That's me controlling Tom w/ my XBOX. He responds to joystick left and joystick right, of course, but unknown to some is that the B button makes him bend over and the A button makes him clap.

In Michigan and some other states, body = container meaning being drunk IS being in possession of alcohol.

Could be a blue law that makes allowance for if someone under 21 is pulled over on their way home from church/ receiving the Eucharist.
November 4th, 2014 at 10:34 AM ^
The .002 threshhold just applies to the driving offense, which carries additional penalties.
November 3rd, 2014 at 11:08 PM ^
there are no guarenteed loses. IU is still IU even when their bad but this definitley sets them back. They didnt have high expectations anyways so mayb they wont notice :P

While the kid obviosly shouldn't have been drinking since he is a minor, .025 is hardly drunk. I think you're talking about 1 beer here. Clearly that isn't enough alcohol to make him accidentally drive over his teammate. If he had been 21 I don't think this would even be considered an issue.
Since I'm not one to get all sanctimonious and pretend college kids under 21 don't actually drink alcohol, I think we should just call this what it is, an incredibly unfortunate accident. I highly doubt the one or so beers had anything to do with it.
November 4th, 2014 at 7:53 AM ^
For the driver maybe. I wonder how much Devin Davis had to drink though. Now there are reports that he had been drinking and is the one at fault for the accident by jumping in front of the jeep (that belonged to one of the female passengers).

well thats what they get for having a coach that cheats
November 4th, 2014 at 8:00 AM ^
But will they bring back Bob Knight?

If you go by what the Inside the Hall commenters say, this development could be HUGE since Troy Williams is ten times better than Caris Levert.

dumpster fire. feels so good to not be THE dumpster fire in the BIG
