BREAKING: Iziane Castro Marques Off Brazilian Olympic Team

[Husky Luv]

Translated from the release:​

"Because of an act of indiscipline off the court, she was turned off by the dean of the delegation Hortencia Marcari, who made ​​the decision together with the technical committee. Therefore, Brazil will continue with 11 players to London, for not longer be able to entering a new athlete, except in case of injury proved."​

WoW!! I wonder why she dislike the Dean? via www.swishappeal.com​

 

[JS]

Huh. She's the one who got into it with Tina.

Some issues there?

Izzy gets emotional on the court sometimes, but I've never heard of her being a problem with the Dream. Be interested to hear if Marynell comments!

Yep, thats her

So, she had difficulties with the Dean? What's new?

I watched the game. She's emotional, obviously, and had 4 fouls (including the technical) midway thru the first quarter. Tina probably shouldn't have stuck her elbow in Izzy's face, and did deserve a technical, but Izzy was playing way aggressive (and chippy) and had grabbed Tina's arm IIRC, which is why Tina stuck her elbow up. I never really liked Izzy's play on the court - but I had no idea her actions were going to result in being booted off the team. I'm sure there's more to the story than that - something must have transpired behind closed doors...

Yeah, it was a really rough game. Looks like both of them got theirs on the court. Looks painful, though.

Sheesh, eric - read the statement: "Because of an act of indiscipline OFF the court ..."

It’s not the first time Castro Marques has had issues with Brazilian coaching staff – she got in a conflict with coaches during 2008 Olympic Qualification Tournament and was left off the NT for Beijing Olympic games.

She's a player with talent, but with the emotional maturity of a 5-year old.

...a 5-year old Brazilian!

Wow. Stronger than I would have said it! But she did lose her cool and seemed to be out of control in Monday's game. Unfortunately, I am not totally surprised after watching her 4 days ago.

 

[Ozzie Nelson]

Classic BoneYard speculation about speculation.

 

[meyers7]

I always wonder [mod edit] for certain posters, what their deal is.

So do some of us. Why can't people read the links, posts, etc. follow along?

I think Wonkster was very kind to eric. It gets very frustrating sometimes.

 

[Outside Shot]

Hortencia is one of the all-time great players in women's basketball and a member of multiple basketball Hall of Fames. She was amazing in her day. Can't be disrespecting the "Queen" and get away with it.

 

[JS]

It gets very frustrating sometimes.

The response to eric needn't have been so grumpy and could, in fact, have been politely stated without the critical tone.

A couple responses or attempted responses to that escalated the exchange into over the line personal territory.

Enough, please (he said politely).

It looks to me like both of them lost their heads in the heat of competition.

You of all people know how frustrating it can be. ('cept you can actually do something about it, the rest of us must just suffer)

 

[UCONNfan1]

Frustrating? How so? This is a message board for sports fans, not a board room for executives. People can certainly disagree without being disagreeable. I see more sniping between UCONN fans than I do between rivals, which is a mystery I've yet to solve.

I totally get disagreeing with someone, even vehemently. I do not get the pot shots that fly way more than they should.

For the record, I don't mind Wonk's comment - it was a tad snarky but... I just consider the source - Grumpy Old Men...
