Benny Williams dismissed from program

[690West]

Well thank God Dion is here to look into all this

When I read Dion’s takes, I always feel blessed that he chose us over his offers from Yale and Oxford

Can someone please decipher this?

Can someone please decipher this?

Dion doesn't think the punishment fits the crime(s) based on what he heard happened.

So I just watched the replay Benny walked off the court with 8 seconds left on the clock? Wow. When was the bump?

after he got the T and walked back to the bench, everybody is making a big deal of it but it looked inadvertent to me and not intentional. I usually immediately delete all SYR losses from my DVR but I saved this to watch all the antics. Copeland also had an incident when it appeared he talked back to Red after he took a bad shot and airballed by 6 feet. I did not realize Benny left with 8 seconds left. That just piles on to everything else he did in that game to get booted. Griff tried to get him to turnaround and get in the handshake line but Benny barreled right through Griff. That was worse than the accidental bump with Red.

When I accidentally bump into people I look at them with a surprised look and apologize. Maybe that's just me.

I don’t think anyone would disagree that you’re more mature than Benny.

I think it was more of “I accidentally bumped into him but I’m grumpy so I’m not acknowledging or apologizing.”

This is 1,000,000% it.

Benny Williams is the least of Reds problems. The whole program needs a cleansing.

 

[Dinkyspond]

It's very difficult after a promotion to readjust your relationships to more of a boss/employee relationship. I agree Red's control seems a bit loose, but I think he'll be able to tighten it up by next year. This move just expedited the process. It's an adjustment.

It's pretty tough to change up from being good cop to Boeheim's bad cop. I don’t think it ever works.

New judge jury and executioner in town Dion

 

[Dinkyspond]

I'd take JT over Benny. Benny is slow. Everything he does is ponderous. Last game his shot was a rope.

ropes are good in baseball, bad in basketball

Dion, flexin' that SU edumacation.

 

[tptcuse]

So, they could have worded this headline differently.

Dion, flexin' that SU edumacation.

Dion made his $, what does it matter?

 

[GoCuse14]

Yeah, I think the "bump" is a big nothingburger.

The technical, the walking off the court, they probably led to another one on one conversation. (especially given previous issues). And after that conversation, Red had had enough.

Malcontents can bring the team down. I'm sure the team still supports their friend and former teammate, but I'd bet they're not altogether surprised.

I’d watch it again and I probably need to myself, but it looked like Red physically bit his lip after the bump…as if it took everything to not dress Benny down right there and then.

But that’s just what I saw from memory.

It's the SU athletic department. We should just be thankful they didn't give an incorrect press release saying Maliq was being kicked off the team.

Or they worded it perfectly.

The Wrights? Paul Harris and Devo "Allegedly"

I read an article about Flynn, Devo and Paul leaving for the draft. Seems there was some confusion about Paul. A communications gaffe probably both sides to blame as Paul had told Boeheim he would be putting his name in the draft, went home and never returned calls. SU assumed he was gone then Paul said he did not tell SU officially he was leaving but said since it was out there, he would enter his name in the NBA draft.

for a second I thought Marsh got a job with the newspaper!

 

[Ringostar57]

No respect shown for coach, nor at the end of the game by Williams tells me he has no respect for himself and no confidence in himself.

That's an AP article, not an SU press release. I guess I'm missing something here.

 

[two3zone]

WWBD-What would Boeheim do if a player bumped him like Benny did Red? Definitely not the only reason he was let go, but just wondering what the Heimster’s course of action would have been.

Nobody would’ve ever done that to JB the last 10-20 years.

“shaking my head” he wasn’t supposed to be dismissed from the team from what I heard happened. “Shaking my head” crazy

——————

This easy common short hand message on social media caused some of you to question Dion’s intelligence? Foh

 

[Eric15]

I knew the foundation of that joke was weak, but I just lazily went with it.

 

[GoCuse14]

I get Benny needing to be removed from the team but why do it now? Why not just wait a month when the season is over and let him transfer.

Did anything specific happen after the Wake game that led to this? Seems like Red is just punting the rest of the season to make a statement

Negative. He showed his coach up on the sideline. Couple that with all other things that have happened, this is what you get.
