[QUOTE="SBU72, post: 228230, member: 741"]
Lately I find that I don't "fear" SU losing as much as the "fear" of facing the harsh criticism of what happened.  This board goes so far off that I with hold critical observations because I don't want to look like one of the haters.  So when the SU program comes underfire I cringe, not because of what happened but finding that I get put in a position of trying to defend JB and the program because people know I am a big fan.  And believe me, as an SBU grad, I know what it is like to have the bball program brought under fire!  Some are complaining about how could the coaching staff (read JB) allow Melo to fail academically even though no amount of guidence, oversight, etc can force an individual to learn.  How about the intestenal foritude that SU has for stepping up and saying this "kid" did not meet the standards that were place before him.  They could have easily have waited 3 weeks and done it then.  How many other schools/coaches would hvae done that?  How many other underclassmen in other schools stop being students early on because they know they are turning pro and how many of those head coaches know it and don't say anyhing because they don't have to?
