Message: [QUOTE="Towney007, post: 3318935, member: 5832"] Who cares if he was drinking when he 'borrowed' someone's car without their knowledge, sped, crashed it and then fled police? He's taking responsibility. He's doing all the right things. He's a good kid who made a mistake. But he still made a mistake. And it might not be fair, but the UConn men's team might be the most public facing entity in the entire state so yeah - a kid is going to be held to a pretty high standard when it comes to his behavior relative to others. And it's 100% Hurley and the AD's business if they want to suspend him for two whole basketball games (maybe a few more). I mean check in with your average car 'borrower' who sped, crashed the car and fled from police and ask them if they'd take sitting courtside for a few D1 basketball games and taking a two week course was a good enough punishment, i'm pretty sure they'd all be fine with that. So I'm looking forward to him getting back on the court, but instead of crying about the perceived injustice of it all, applaud the kid for ultimately taking responsibility for his actions instead of trying to technicality himself out of trouble. He's doing the right thing and will be better for it. Good on him for making things right. I'm excited to see him get on the court. [/QUOTE]
