I have no real qualms about the first probation we were given. Sure JB runs things a little loose with his athletes but that list was almost hilarious for a major college list of infractions and much of it could go on without the coaches knowledge if not all of it. Perhaps we should hire a compliance officer to make sure all the players are following the rules. JB can't watch them all the time and I'm sure he is not interested in doing so anyways he's a basketball coach and recruiter. He's not a babysitter nor is he a tutor or the moral policeman for SU bball players.

As far as this time around we don't even know what the actual specifics are so how can I condemn the man. Not saying he shouldn't shoulder some of the blame for how things go as he is the face of SU bball but if you are an SU fan you have always known he runs a pretty loose ship allowing the players to "do how they do" (in Melo's words) off the court. Kids go to college and begin the process of growing up and being responsible for themselves. This often results in making very stupid decisions and that's no different for student athletes.
