Frank Howard Suspended

[pfister1]

JB wouldn’t suspend Howard.
This is above him.
He wouldn’t travel with the team if it was from the team.

We used to get into a ton of trouble on the road. Missed curfews, drinking etc. it’s quite possible that whatever the offense was occurred after they traveled, or that the suspension won’t preclude him from playing on Saturday if we pull out the game on Thursday.

 

[MikeDamone]

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

Couldn't the test have been given up arriving?

 

[JeremyCuse]

This sc

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

He's not playing tomorrow

He said Frank isn’t with us tomorrow.
So at the least Howard is out 1 game.

 

[ROCuse]

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

Hope you're right. Almost felt like he was saying that Frank would be heading home.

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).

Since this keeps coming up, is weed actually prohibited by the NCAA? Wasn’t the whole issue with JB that he didn’t enforce SU’s marijuana policy and that it wouldn’t be a violation at all if the policy didn’t exist?

Vegas just moved the line.
SU is now -30

Doubtful since it's mid semester

Midterms began March 5th. Probably failed one or didn't show up.

 

[djcon57]

A fitting end to his career

 

[samspann1]

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

Don't be so sure of that.

 

[Alsacs]

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.

If you think this about just Frank then you are wrong.
Discipline has been a major problem.

 

[justgold315]

That's it. I made it 2 days without booze.

They should have come out and said that. Just odd.

 

[CuseTG2003]

Midterms began March 5th. Probably failed one or didn't show up.

The fall semester is all that matters unless he got caught cheating.

 

[MadNY3]

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.

...or a 5th year player’s last act to be detrimental to the program warrants a suspension.

Illicit drugs are illegal in the NCAA.
Marijuana is an illicit drug.

Not sure why people keep mentioning Carey playing. Buddy and Battle play 40 barring injury or foul trouble.

[NateW]

Welp. Frank just cemented his legacy.

Later dude.

Hello Jalen. You can do it. Just be yourself.

Oh and Jalen - don’t shoot threes!

 

[GooseMutt]

Boeheim needs to hit a retreat after this season for his own well being. Bombs bursting all around him

 

[Dome Eddie]

There goes my bracket

JB will use Carey... maybe not a lot but he will play a few mins

 

[tbonezone]

He probably should have played more but he was also turning the ball over every other possession, something had to give.

last multi turnover game was 1/14 against duke. he had 3. along with tyus ,frank and oshae.

 

[pfister1]

I didn’t think they did drug testing in advance. They used to randomly pick a couple of players from among those that actually played.

 

[PhatOrange]

If it’s for him whiffing on the trip that’s insane. Since when do they go back and suspend kids when nothing was even called in the game for it. Pure Crazy.

Anyhow, Battle to point, Buddy at the two.
