Ultimate absurdity...

One interpretation of the NCAA penalties would bar JB from having contact with his secretary for more than a month.

This very competent woman never discusses basketball strategy, X's and O's, substitution patterns or anything else basketball-related with him.

She handles his mail, screens his phone calls, does his expense account, handles requests for autographs and speaking dates, etc. All the things done by executive assistants all over America. But apparently she will not be able to discuss any of his calls or his mail with him.

Just like the executive assistant to the CEO of IBM does not discuss software strategy with her boss, Jim's executive assistant does not discuss basketball strategy with him.

Is Julie Banned? Or Banned by association?

Call Julie - Julie puts phone on speaker - Talks as if JB is not listening. LOL

Larry Brown had to leave town for a month fearing he might get dinged by the NCAA for running into anyone associated with the program in any capacity even if he was out running errands.

That makes me think - didn't Hop just recently move into JB's neighborhood?

So let's say Jimmy goes out to pick up the paper, and Hop is out for a morning jog. They aren't allowed to say hello, are they.

Seems legit.

No and as a matter of fact...I'm sure old Oliver has an unmarked car on the street monitoring the situation and an AIRBNB in the neighborhood.

I'm fairly certain a good part of this whole thing is a personal vendetta by Luck against JB/SU

I try to add a human dimension here ... in an attempt to put into prospective the human aspects of an outrageous situation... and I get crap from people who have no idea of how the basketball office (or any CEO's office) works... and, for good measure, there is a Fawn Hall reference. I give up. No more insights into the reality of this mess.

[sarcasm]I refuse to believe this suspension is going to have an negative impact on anyone else in the world other than myself as an SU fan. All this nonsense of how it may impact little kids and Coach Boeheim's charity work, pfffff, nope just impacts me. [/sarcasm]

If JB is at the grocery store and someone says Hi Coach, is he allowed to acknowledge that?

All well and good.
I maintain that it's naive to think Emmert/Luck/other high-ranking NCAA suits don't have a major hand in rulings that come down - especially the high profile ones.

"Hey, Jim, I was thinking - how do you feel about coaching another 5 years?"

Well, 5 years would about get JB his 101 wins back.-VBOF

That's why I had suggested JB go on an extended OCONUS golf holiday. I noted he apparently disagreed, though, saying that being interviewed on a golf course while the team was suffering a 20-point loss would send a bad message. But, geez, the way the NCAA has made this "divorce" from the program so thorough and unreasonable, I tend to think Larry Brown had the right idea.--VBOF

Three of these people's terms expired a year ago and the other two's term expired this September. So were they really the people who decided this case this week? Not likely.
