OT: Zach Freemantle Suspended Indefinitely

[UCSouth]

Maybe some folks had a different intent. I took the comments as making fun of Sean Miller for a totally toothless suspension.

My take as well

Sounds like a coach sending a kid a message. The word indefinitely is pretty scary . It could mean anything from 24 hours to permanently.
Whatever he did he will probably think twice before he does it again.
The coach will probably make sure returning to practice is not fun for awhile just as a reminder .

Duke set the standard of a 24 hour "indefinite" suspension. That word doesn't mean anything anymore

The word indefinite still means what it always has.

The problem seems to be some people in the thread don't know what the word indefinite means.

The idea of a word like indefinite is to plant in the mind of the offender that it could be any length of time the coach thinks is appropriate. You as coach want him to believe the worse. However for that to work you have to have some history of suspensions of significant duration or it’s meaningless.

No idea. I'm actually illiterate.

What’s really impressive is that means that you just hit keys at random to come up with that response.

You seem to be knowledgeable on the subject. Is there any reason that you wouldn't want to educate a fellow fan?

It's as though you might prefer that they remain ignorant and in the dark so that you perhaps can feel superior to them and refer to their lack of knowledge as a problem.

What else could explain your being so coy?
