Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 228359, member: 1423"] The team is no train-wreck, but we have had a rough year from a public relations standpoint, no doubt. The BF mess, then the (bogus and premature) drug article and now loosing our center for the NCAA's because he no longer wants to pretend he's a student. From my seat, loosing Fab is a net plus. Yes it's another negative headline. But it also shows: 1- we have a spine; and 2- we have academic rules that we expect student athletes to follow regardless of their 'NBA' potential. Those blaming JB have it all wrong -- benching Fab means he IS in control. Letting Fab play knowing that he's out of academic compliance would have been exactly the kind of bad judgment that everyone's accusing him of. [/QUOTE]
