Message: [QUOTE="BlackSquirrels, post: 2955008, member: 742"] To answer the OP, Frank will not be suspended. I'd characterize JB's PR strategy in this situation as a classic example of the "don't apologize--double down"* technique. In college hoops, we've seen DADD used by guys like Sean Miller and, more recently, Will Wade. (It's commonly used in politics, but we don't have to go there.) If you apologize, the people who want to rip you are still going to rip you and most of your supporters don't have anything to rally around. When you use DADD, your biggest supporters will ignore reality and adopt your position to prove their commitment. It's unfortunate the world works this way, but in my opinion, that what is happening here. * basketball writer Ethan Strauss is the person I stole this term from [/QUOTE]
