Of course if a 7-1, 250 pound guy did that to your daughter, no doubt you'd have the same attitude...If it were one of mine, I'll tell you that I'd be demanding that he be prosecuted to the max and that he keep away from her forever. Look, I get fighting with your girlfriend. Over the years my wife and I have had more than a few doozies, as I'm sure most couples have. But I can say that I've never struck her. Back in the day, we used to believe that only a coward or a piece of scum strikes a woman. But I guess if you're a basketball player its ok. I had hoped that this part of the Calhoun legacy was finally over. Since this team didn't seem to have too many of the win at all costs types--they all left--we'd be able to keep out of the police blotter. Guess not. I give Ollie credit for booting the guy though. I think this program, given all the baggage of the past few years, the impacts of which we're still living with, needs to take a zero tolerance approach on this kind of crap. Unless he is completely exonerated, and none of this pleading guilty to spitting on the sidewalk crap, the only thing he deserves from the UConn basketball program is a bus ticket to Newark Airport and a Lufthansa schedule.
Started muscling around a woman. That's "did what." You read this nonsense and then people wonder why players act like as. Sure,the police lied because you know,they have it in for basketball players. From one report,they told him to leave 3 times. His response? he grabs and pushes the woman in question! And you're ok with that. Gotta make an excuse because we're not too deep in the big man department. Oy!
Upstater, please tell me you agreed to this wager, since Wolf made the front page on ESPN.
If I'm remembering this right, & I may not be, wasn't Rudy Johnson involved in some kind of an incident with his girlfriend when he & KO were students here? Help me jog my memory, peeps! Not saying that one has anything to do with the other, or that it will influence KO's decision, whatever that may be.
When something like this happens all of our differences over sports and even this Wolf incident just seem to fade away. Deepest sympathy.
I agree with you. Arguing sports is fun. Losing a family member is very difficult.
Based on your question I went back and re-read the report, and I have to say it is very unclear, in how it is written, exactly what happened when. Though it still sounds like the police asked him to leave and only when he didn't did they arrest him. The wording from the police report is below. It is not that clear, I concede. But as a practice in domestic disputes the police arrest both parties. That didn't happen here as it did with McCombs last fall. That would lead one to believe that Wolf was clearly the one being an balloon knot
My heart goes out to you! That's just plain sad. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family as well. Now he's watching over you!
Sorry for your loss. I'll debate you on your position but not about this. Thoughts and prayers to you!
