If our program was as out-of-control as Forde and Robinson claim, and Manley was essentially serving as JB's crack house, how come Billy Edelin spent so much time suspended for "undisclosed personal reasons?"
 
From orangehoops.org:
 
"Edelin became the starting point guard his sophomore year. He was having a steady season, including a career high 28 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists against Canisius that year. He had an excellent assist to turnover ratio, learning to protect the ball well. Unfortunately, his season fell apart on February 10th when he missed a game because of undisclosed personal reasons. He would end up missing the remainder of the season.
 
Because of his missed school time in the spring of 2004, Edelin was forced to miss the early part of the 2004-2005 season to catch up on his school work. He finally returned to action on December 1, 2004. He had worked his way back into the starting lineup, starting three straight games when he again suddenly missed a game February 23 against St. John's due to personal reasons (undisclosed to the public). Edelin would never play again that season, and would never play for the Orange again. The loss of Edelin surely hurt a team that was lacking in experienced depth at the guard position."
 
I remember a lot of speculation at the time revolved around mental health issues. Might these have manifested themselves as drug dependency? But Forde and Friends imply rampant drug use was intentionally ignored.
