I took Wolf's apology as pretty much an admission of guilt.

Whether or not he did anything doesn't matter in terms of an apology. He admitted he was drunk and put himself in the situation and jeopardized the university's reputation. That's enough to apologize for, regardless of guilt.

I read the report! Did you?

Yeah I did. A report based on what the female said to officers that night. Again, doesn't mean what she said actually happened, especially since no assault charges were made... and she dropped the charges. Not to mention, both she and Wolf were drunk.

All of this is circumstantial. Only Wolf and the girl know what happened. You don't know what happened, I don't know what happened. The difference is that you are claiming to know what happened.

I never claimed I knew. Based on my experience I believed he did it. That is all..... Based on the calls I have investigated that are similar I believed he had. You should never arrest just off one person's biased statement (victim). You need an independent witness of physical evidence backing one story over the other.........

If this is what the Police did in this case it is wrong! I know victim's lie, in my job I just assume everyone is lying and go from there... He did embarrass the University and should have never put himself or her in this position.. Did she bate him? Maybe! Who knows...... I think we can discuss this without attacking each other.

What is it you think he did? Hit her? Then why were there no assault charges? I understand if she didn't want to press charges that they would be dropped, but he wasn't even arrested on an assault charge, so what is it you think he did?

Minimum DC! He should not have put himself in that position..... He will learn and should move on. He's a kid who made a mistake..... Is it the end of the world, no!

quick slap and hes back. i dont get it but w/e. either the cops overblew it or were hiding it. is what it is. bulk up wolf lets go to war on the hardwood

What's to get? According to the radio, he completed a family violence counseling program and the prosecution was satisfied with his progress. It ain't rocket science.

Based on my experience, le types could just as likely be wrong as any other group in their job performance. Your comments such as "you should never arrest just off one person's biased statement" nice but; ever hear of le types screwing up? How many le types get their city's sued each year based on their misconduct? Isn't Holder a le type, he always does what he "should", right?

Just to be clear, you didn't say "I believe he did it" - you said "I have been in le for over twenty years, NO DOUBT wolf did it." Seems like "no doubt" and "believe" to you mean the same, hmmmmmm, see any problem with that? So if YOU "believe" it that's the same as there being "no doubt"?

What is DC? I've been trying to figure it out, and I'm sure I'll feel stupid when someone tells me, but I'm not a cop and really don't have a clue what it means.

I have no doubt he criminally did something wrong. I never said no doubt he assaulted someone. As for bad LE types, unfortunately like any job there are bad people in this career. In this career I pay for bad cops on a daily basis. I am the first one to say someone should get fired when they deserve it. Stop putting a player above the law, I love UConn basketball and have been going games since the Yankee Conference days. But bottom line, Wolf screwed up because he was drunk. That is on him and no one else. I am sure the cops would have preferred to be doing something else than dealing with a drunk, entitled athlete...

Are you kidding? For a campus 2.5 there are few things more enjoyeable than ******* with athletes.

Phoenixhusky, it's people like you who give police officers a bad reputation. For you to say you have "no doubt" he did something criminally wrong is, in itself, criminally wrong imo. No one here knows. We believe what we believe. But for a law enforcement official to claim "no doubt" about the reported actions of someone based solely on his own experience with cases involving similar allegations, and no direct, personal knowledge whatsoever pretty much confirms every fear normal citizens have about overzealous and corrupt police work.

Do yourself and everyone else a favor and watch The Central Park Five for a good (i.e., bad) example of where your crack investigative skills lead.

From working family courts, my oh my the stuff that goes on. It's a minefield. I wouldn't assume that hitting a lover equals assault charges.

I actually think the university board might have more to say on this.

Thanks. I really hope he didn't hit her...if he did, it's gonna make it hard to root for him.

Hopefully the girl is willing to speak to the university board. It would be good for the university to hear things from her point of view. She's a student, yes?

"I'm really happy that the court part of this is resolved," Wolf said, with his attorney, Rob Britt, present in the lobby of the courthouse. "I'm going to focus on my school work and my finals. I'm going to keep staying in the counseling for myself because I realize how this has affected me."

Britt said Wolf has "learned to address alcohol," acknowledging that was part of the problem.


"It hurts that I can't be out there playing with my teammates," Wolf said. "I'm here to play basketball. My passion is to play basketball. My whole life, I've loved basketaball. But I did this to myself and it's a big lesson learned."

He's saying all the right things. Gotta respect the kid for manning up, and 2nd chances are great. I have no doubt he will make the most of it. Looking forward to seeing him play this coming season and hope he anchors our post effectively...

Mr. Mojo risin'!
Future is looking up.

At a minimum we will have 20 fouls available at the 5. Three players who played significant minutes last year and two promising newcomer bigs...it is GOOD to be a Husky fan!

I've never hit, slapped or even pushed a woman, but now that Wolf has been cleared criminally and it looks likely that the university will clear him as well, I trust in KO to do the right thing. From all I can tell about our head coach, he is a good judge of character.

People make mistakes (and it does appear that Wolf did make a mistake, even though the charges have been dropped), but unless they are unforgivable ones, they should be given an opportunity to grow from them.

Wow! Excellent use of grammar. I do know sh$$. I have been a Police Officer for over twenty years and have investigated hundreds of these cases. I have worked in both CT and Az. In order to make an arrest, you need physical evidence other than a victims testimony in order to make an arrest. Other evidence would include an independent witness or some physical evidence such as an injury that corroborates the victims story. In many arrests I have made I have had all these things and the prosecutor has dropped the case because the victim is no longer willing to prosecute. Is it likely Wolfe did this? Yes, absolutely. Do not make the mistake of viewing a dismissal of the charge as indicative that he did not do this! Does this make him a bad guy? No, but I do not understand the need to attack me because my opinion is different than yours! I tend to side with the Police Officers who have an even more difficult job of dealing with an athlete such as Wolfe that has some celebrity to them. They are in a lose/lose situation. If they do nothing to Wolfe and he hurts the girl worse they get sued and get disciplined. If they make an arrest, they get called overzealous my Wolfe fans. I think you should have more respect for people in general and Police Officers than you do..... I doubt you would speak to me or any Police Officer in person this way.....

Well, I appreciate your thoughtful post and don't think much of the responses you have gotten. The Boneyard has gotten really snarky and douchey during this post-season.

Oh well, if she bated him...that would give a 7 foot 275 pound guy total justification to slap a woman. Completely understandable.

Oh good. so I guess the incident never happened...This is a test for Kevin Ollie. Man up and tell him so long, or use the excuse that the court cleared him so it never happened. We'll see...
And you know what happened how?

And you know that this is solely Kevin Ollie's decision how?

And you know that the two options you present are the only two options how?

Dude, HFD makes more sense than you, and contributes more value to this board than you. This is a test for you. Man up and sell the ability to muzzle you and give the proceeds to charity like HFD has done. We'll see...
