!@##$%^ Maybe Derrick Rose should sit six games. Oh, nevermind...

There isn't another reporter on the planet that co-ops more information than Adam Zagoria.

He generally 'reports' on other people's reports.

Does the last game count?

He recycles on his blog all the time but there are different standards for that forum then when he writes for sny or any of the other nyc papers. I talk to adam from time to time and he is a good guy. The purpose of the blog is not to only be an investing reporting

If it's just 3 to 6 games, that's not too bad. I'm assuming exhibition games don't count. If that's the case, if he is suspended 4 games, he'd be available for the Battle for Atlantis. I hope he can make the trip.

Will rose pay for the flight? .....to soon?

Stupid. But I am hoping it is more like 3 games rather then 6. I am relieved it was not something serious.

 

[huskyniner]

Would this count against our probation? I'm guessing no since UConn had nothing to do with it.

Here's CBS Sport's story on this. Rose had been a target of the NCAA since his brother's days at Memphis. Doesn't involve UConn in probe.

99.9% certain the answer is no.

How much is an airplane ticket? Bc John wall was paid I believe $600 and missed two games.

i doubt itll be more than 3 games. is gottleib calling for calhouns resignation yet?

He should be able to pay back whatever it may be if in fact they come up with something after reading the article I believe Rose in him saying it's a witch hunt. They could go after other players with higher profiles but they picked him. Reggie Rose has been doing this a long time and would be very careful and is always looking out for his players. The whole thing is a crook and myself personally am having a hard time getting over this crap.

remember this when boatright gets a worse ruling.

As I said several days ago - Think Ricky Moore and Kirk King.Chief00 said:↑

My guess is Boatright will be docked 3-8 games, not a big deal. If so, the most important thing is a decision is made quickly so the clock can start ticking. Given the NCAA animosity toward UConn's Men's program - hopefully we won't see the foot dragging beyond the normal NCAA inefficiencies.​

Trying to recall - does the player get credit for the games he is voluntarily held out of - against the punishment subsequently handed down????​

A team with just 1 ball handler is a major concern to an otherwise very talented team. Having 2 ball handlers last year was a huge plus. In 2006 we had just 1 ball handler and paid the price on a very talented team. The defense immediately went to Marcus when UConn got a rebound.​
