Harrison suspended rest of the year

Last year I loved DLO. He was my favorite player. Had an unbelievable FR season. This year I have been dissapointed w his play. I dont pay to much attention to body language. Hope he gets his act together. Lavin could have suspended him for a game and sent a message. Must have done something(s) really bad to warrent this.
 
@Kieran_Lynch: "[Harrison] wants to finish his collegiate playing career at St. John's." Lavin #stjbb

@Kieran_Lynch: "He’ll be able to earn his way back by having a good spring and summer and have momentum going into next year." Lavin #stjbb
@Kieran_Lynch: "It’s in his best interest to take a time out and get some distance from basketball." Lavin #stjbb
 
I have to say I have never seen sooooo many people Jump on and off a bus so fast. We do not even know the details and we are balming his attitude and temper, his latest stats and if we wait long enough his "faux hawk" He is a 20 year old kid who is an amazing basketball player....that will be missed and honestly who absence CANT be overcome quickly. He is our go to guy. People are blaming Lavin ....for what? Do you know something we dont know? I read he is "jumping the gun" he's "lost control" blah blah. We need to sit back and wait for the details....then we can stop the banter a discuss the facts. In the mean time......we have taken a big hit....a big one....but not as big as that 20 year old kid who saw basketball as a way out. Lets have some compassion

Jordan to Temple is "90 percent"? Really, that's news to everyone, including Jordan himself.

Kieran Lynch is the Jimmy Olsen of STJ hoops.
He'll put the beat writers out of a job.

I guess the sky isn't falling...see ya next year Dlo
 
Selfish move by Lav- this pisses me off to no end-- does he think of the other players who busted their butts all season? Unless Harrison flat out refused to practice, or cursed a coach out-- this suspension is ridiculous.

Selfish move by lag? I say selfish move by D'lo. The supposed star can't be above team rules. For all we know maybe some players had a problem with him and went to the coach. I sit across from bench at MSG whenever he got taken out and coaches went to speak with him he always turned the other way. Can we use his scoring? Thats a no brainer but there also have to rules in place that EVERYONE needs to follow.

This is crazy talk.

His 18 PPG does not give him a free pass to do whatever he wants however and whenever he wants to do it. Point blank. End of story.

It's not crazy talk, Ihave watched Harrison play he wants to WIN. So what he shakes his head a lot.

You are dreaming if you think HArrison got suspended for shaking his head on the court. He went off publicly on Rico Hines in Syracuse, and I believe went off in practice against the coaching staff.
 
@GregLogan1: Suspension was a cumulative thing after 2 years, not result of one incident involving Harrison. "It's coach's decision." Lavin. #stjbb

@GregLogan1: Lavin: "You don't want to lose leading scorer in homestretch of season, but I owe it to the players to make decisions on best int of kids."

@GregLogan1: Lavin: "This timeout will be good for Harrison. He will have opportunity in spring to earn way back to team." #stjbb

Amazing basketball players don't shoot 35% from the field and wilt under big east competition.

Oh goody, now I get to have double the excitement of waiting anxiously to hear where an 18-year-old goes to college, and getting to talk to you again.

so he picks the last three games of the season to react wow lavin dropped the ball here
 
Good points, all. No rush to judgement without facts. Everything is a choice. I don't think he would ever hurt for making money playing ball. He may or may not be an NBA player but he is certainly gifted enough to make a good living or even be a star in another league. I was truly impressed with what I saw as growth in maturity where he seemed to be playing more team ball and (not coincidentally) we went on a nice winning streak. I don't know that he is this guy that some allege only looking at his own numbers but if he is, what he is missing is that the same things we saw and were impressed by (playing team ball and making the team better) would have impressed NBA scouts more than leading the league in scoring. And besides that, life is too short to live your life that way despite any fame or riches that might come.

IMHO if he decides to stay at St. John's that is a good thing because it would indicate that he's figured some of these things out and decided to endure the humbling process of redeeming himself with the staff, team and fans. If he decides to bolt that is good too because it means that he hasn't. Either way, he is a kid. I doubt that at his age I could have handled the spotlight and pressures and made all of the good choices but as far as I know he is still basically a good kid who doesn't do some of the more reprehensible things going on in college hoops (on the take, abusing women, drugs, active gang member, stealing...), So with the facts at hand, I wish him well.

I feel for D'Angelo, as this kind of suspension can significantly hurt his chances of earning a paycheck playing basketball, wherever that may be. I do hope that he can come back to St. John's next year and continue to play and go to school here. I guess I'm not surprised by the extreme opinions here (I for one still don't know what led to the suspension, other than the behavior I've seen in games, so I won't pass judgment) but he's been suspended, not kicked off the team, so I disagree with those who just want to give his scholarship to someone new and throw the kid away. But I do agree with the sentiment among many that a player, no matter his production, needs to be disciplined - for the good of the team. I can assure you that anyone who's played team sports knows how detrimental a player can be to the rest of his teammates if he's not held accountable for his actions. This suspension is made with the other players in mind, not in spite of them, and clearly the interests in the other players outweighed D'Angelo's interests and production.
One last thing, I'm sad about all this agenda pushing/argument baiting that goes on here. Lavin is the head coach, some posters need to get over it. D'Angelo is one of ours unless he or the staff decide otherwise, and posters should be cognizant that players - not just the ones they dislike - are able to see the support (or lack their of) of our posters. There's a reason I include my face with my screen name.

Maybe 20 wins but do you think Jakarr would have recommitted? I think he came here to take Moe's minutes. Doubt we would of had both.

They both committed to play together in 2011. So, we could've and would've had both.
 
hi first of all dangelo is a head case i personally think he sees his nba chances going down the drain and is starting to see he needs out to maybe a midmajor to get himself a chance again. also this team is jinxed i dont know what to say anymore other then see you next year. also people are acting like rasheed is a lock please he is 90 percent going to temple and now no harrison we better pray he wants to come back or tourney is no lock next year either.
