Would you have the stones?

I really hope the decision was easy for KO. A win or loss against against Colgate is meaningless to me.

I made kind of a big deal in the other Adams scooter accident thread. Running from an accident scene is on the edge of a big deal. I'd actually prefer Adams be suspended for more than one game. At the very least a game more meaningful then Colgate. A few thought i was being ridiculous or joking.....I wasn't.

If KO questioned the 1 game suspension at all I'm more concerned for KO than i am Adams.

This issue has a lot to do with principles. What are they? Do you have any? Are they simply winning the next game? I hope KO is about more than that.

Do you remember when our outmanned team travelled to Indiana missing 2 players. JC famously told the players, "This is the team". We ended up rolling Indiana.

I'm looking for leadership out of KO. Not just winning the next game.

I vividly remember the Indiana game. Agree on all points. Great post.

At the end of the day, it was Colgate.

Very true. But given our experience last season, sitting Adams put a scenario in play where our season would be over before it began for the second year in a row. The temptation to do the wrong thing was certainly there . . .

The right move by KO. The message is sent when the player wears streets.

I’m ok with one game but think a JC stern talking to and maybe one half would’ve sufficed. Anymore than one game and it’s just Ollie being macho. That said I fully expect Jalen to suit up on Tuesday.

The kid was arrested. One game was the least Ollie was obligated to do as a college coach.

As a positive side effect, Anderson's minutes and performance far exceeded my wildest expectations. I thought he'd get maybe 10 min/game and spell the top three guards in a three guard line up every so often. He proved he can be reliable in a two guard set.
