I think that you are all forgetting Derek Brower. He did federal time for being the "enforcer" for a large cocaine ring. I believe that this would make him the winner based on formal charges.
I don't think people have the same definition for "bad ass."
I'll go with Derek. He was very "borderline" when he played here. I believe Boeheim was a father figure to him and held him together. This is why Derek is one of the most loyal ex-players we have and why, when we won the NC, Boeheim said Derek was the first person he called - or who called him!
DC because until he came the Georgetown thugs took cheap shots at our players, when DC got here the attitude of the series changed. The fans , team became tougher, and led to the famous incident with John being thrown out of the game. Plus when DC was on the team John wasn't able to intimidate the refs, in our games with Georgetown.
