I guess I was less than clear. I didn't like Hathaway. He was a nasty, petty, miserable guy and that's how he ran things. And I believe that he probably lost his edge and needed to be replaced. No problem with that. It happens to lots of people. But the idea that he was incompetent is just wrong. Incompetent don't see the level of success across the board that occurred on his watch. He had two huge egos he needed to placate. 3 if you count Edsall whose ego was almost as big even if his accomplishment weren"t. And neither one was shy about going over his head to the media or the adminstration or outside supporters/donors if he was unhappy. The process by which hathaway was replaced revealed a very ugly side of Susan Herbst, too. She wanted to replace him with someone who shared her vision, such as it is, and that's fine. But she elected to do it in the most ugly way possible. She did something similar at the med school for what its worth. And in all seriousness, ask yourself if Manuel is better. I guess if you're a hockey fan, the answer is yes. But beyond that, you'd be hard pressed to say UConn Athletics is better off under Manuel. Of course it matters less, so maybe that's ok. He was brought here for one reason and one reason only. He got Buffalo out of its APR mess. They had 4 or 5 teams that were below the NCAA standards when he arrived there and none when he left. Susan Herbst wanted a guy she could point to as someone who took APR seriously because her interest in athletics is that they not embarrass the university. Read HFD's list of failures. Forget the bad syntax and all that and focus on the points. And Manuel is following the same old script that made him a "rock star" at Buffalo down to replacing the logo. Pretty soon we'll be Buffalo.
No, Miles was expelled for violating a court order. Calhoun didn't suspend Williams for a single game. If it had been up to him, Williams wouldn't have been out at all. Price only missed games because he had his illness. He was scheduled to join the team as a freshman in 2004-2005. He missed the 2004-05 season due to the brain hemorrhage, AVM I think it was called, and had surgery in February 2005. So he missed the 2004-05 season due to illness. In August 2005 he was arrested for the laptop incident. he was suspended for the 2005-06 year. But he was not cleared to return to playing basketball until MAY 2006. So while he missed 2 years, it was two years when he was physically unable to perform. So it was a meaningless penalty. As I said above, like telling your 15 year old you're taking away his drivers license. He doesn't have one anyway. You, my friend, are the one who is making up timelines and twisting things. Even if the laptop incident never happened, AJ Price could not play basketball in the 2004-05 or 2005-06 seasons. His doctors wouldn't allow it. His health wouldn't allow it. So saying he missed basketball during that period because of the laptop incident is simply wrong and turns reality on its head. Talk about through the looking glass...
LOL...he was suspended during a period he couldn't play anyway. Look it up. It is true. And for all your bluster you didn't know that and you're embarrassed...so his penalty was being suspended from school for a semester...that's it. The rest of the time he was either too ill to actually be there. And he was allowed back to the school for the Spring of 2006. He wasn't allowed back on the team but that was a meaningless penalty since he wasn't cleared to participate anyway. But I suppose that's more than enough in your eyes. As for Miles, yeah, he was suspended for violating a restraining order. Go back and read the reports on the incident. there was zero action taken against him by the school or Calhoun for original violation which led to the order. It was only after he ended up under arrest for violation that he was subject to any action by the University. Though in Calhoun's defense, he violated the order so quickly, within 15-20 minutes after he was notified, that maybe he didn't have time to take action...
You may be right on the timeline but since he was suspended for the entire season there actually was no need for clearance until he was returning to the team. If his suspension was less. medical clearance might have been expedited.
The difference in punishment was due AJ trying to mislead campus police while MW came clean. AJ got the same suspension as MW for the act, plus an additional for not cooperating fully. That result is consistent with campus policy and the punishments were equivalent to other one that didn't relate to an athlete.
No, that's a fact. What you are trying to do now is spin.
All of whom were probably PC alums.
