Frank Howard Suspended

[walsh2012]

Please god let this just be for one game

This is obviously the NCAA's punishment for the UNC academic scandal. I expect to lose 107 wins, 22 scholarships, NCAA tournament ban for 5 years, and Jim Boeheim to be executed.

[MikeDamone]

What about something related to academics?

Doubtful since it's mid semester

 

[Briancuse]

The NCAA conducts random tests after every game. The school usually conducts its' own testing beforehand to avoid any surprises.

Rooting for this team is about to get me to start using drugs.

 

[SUskibum]

respectfully, no it’s not Jim... just play your GD kid like Juli has been telling you all year.

 

[Brian Orange]

Cue the 1 point loss to Gonzaga and we'll wonder "what if" all summer.

 

[cto]

It NEVER freaking ends

Nice timing ...as I sit here at JFK waiting for flight to SLC.

 

[pfister1]

Alsacs, our program has had a lack of discipline for 44 years. just not JB's strong suit

This is discipline, isn’t it?

 

[MikeDamone]

Please god let this just be for one game

Could very well be our only game

 

[ROCuse]

I think JAB said Frank "won't be here with us tomorrow..."

 

[Domedude3]

Very fitting end to his career (if he indeed is out the rest of the season).

 

[Jasoncuse]

Doubtful since it's mid semester

So was Fab Melo's. So was James Southerland's (I think)

now that is just a ridiculous statement. the ban will only be for 4 years

It had to be drugs. They test at these sites and it's happened before. Is what it is. I'll be happy when weed is finally legal everywhere (for a lot of other reasons besides this, to be clear).

 

[Jake]

Bingo

Yeah, if Frank traveled with the team, it’s not an NCAA failed test. That’s my understanding

 

[skurey]

What if we go back on probation hahahaha

 

[OrangeXtreme]

I think JAB said Frank "won't be here with us tomorrow..."

He's not here on Thursday. JB dodged the question if Frank would be here on Saturday.

 

[Alsacs]

If Frank was done forever why would JB say he is not with us tomorrow.
It’s not like Gonzaga would shake in their boots worrying about Frank.

That leads to speculation it isn’t something major.

 

[GooseMutt]

Good news is Jalen can relax and play and not fear making a mistake and getting immediately yanked

 

[OrangeXtreme]

They test AFTER the game.

 

[cusetown1]

Very weird wording . Could be 5 min, 1 game, 2 games ... ? Kind of wishy washy to be honest.

 

[dollarbill44]

Then our program clearly has a lack of discipline.
I am hoping it’s about the trip or then my immediate speculation is a failed drug test and we don’t need the NCAA sniffing around again.

Calm the hysterics and take a deep breath. The "trip" was a whole lot of nothing and one player getting suspended is NOT indicative of a program with a lack of discipline. You're taking a string and running with it.

 

[Jasoncuse]

If Frank was done forever why JB say he is not with us tomorrow.
That leads to speculation it isn’t something major.

Didn't JB just find out about it recently? Maybe doesn't have the full details yet? I don't know. I can't see a kid getting suspended the day before the NCAA Tourney actually returning for round 2.

All of the mole options at the Red Iguana in SLC are somewhat on a consolation.
