Classic Classless Move by Southerland at the end

[cuse500]

 Are people REALLY upset about this?? A suspension?? SACK UP. Who gives a flying you-know-what that he dunked at the end of the game. That stuff is so overblown. The players on this team arent butt hurt by it and neither should we. They won the game and thats all that matters. I guarantee that our players didn't get their feelings hurt by a dunk at the end. Nobody cares.

 

Totally Agree with you on this.

This board is getting really bad at complaining about everything that doesn't go St. John's way. We lose a recruit and it's how much money they were offered, we lose a game and the refs were against us, the other team is classless. Boeheim and other coaches are whining.

This whole thread is a bunch of posters whining, suck it up and move on.

 

By nature fans aren't objective. I have neither the inclination nor the time to go on the Cuse board but my guess is that much of the same type of whining/complaining goes on there and on most other boards. FWIW as far as whining coaches go, undoubtedly Boeheim is right near or at the top. Always has been.

 

The whole point is that if you just tell a kid, who obviously is classless, he did the wrong thing, he learns nothing. If you hurt him by suspending him for one game on a championship team he is NEVER going to do something that STUPID again!

 

Very unlikely that would ever happen at any college. move on......

 

I guess you don't have kids.

 

Yes I do,

do you live in a cave? college athletes (football & basketball) can do whatever at most colleges (very high percentage) this will not change.

 

Tebow! Hello!!!!! It's all about teaching kids to do the right and classy thing. I have one son and two stepdaughters and these kids are the most grounded classy kids I've seen and I'm not taking the credit. I give the credit to my wives (one deceased before you go off on that tangent). This spills over into real life. I've never seen such a bunch of people who just don't get it, but I'm old enough to be your father so when your my age you might just say "Oh, that's what he was talking about!"

 

No offense, but apparently you don't get it. You want to suspend a kid for going for the ball, when there was still time on the clock.

 

Are you suggesting that the move was any less bone-headed because there was time left on the clock? While suspension is a bit severe IMO, Greg is spot on about a lack of class(and resulting consequences) permeating both amatuer and professional sports.

 


I said before that I thought it was a boneheaded play on james' part, but to call the kid classless, or suggest a suspension is beyond absurd. Kids are taught their whole life to play hard till there is no time left on the clock. Boneheaded, yes, classless, no.
