Coach DD say Brian Moten will play within the first ten minutes. Either that says he is pretty good or the current team is so bad that a guy that hasn't practice all year or played a college game yet can come in and play immediately. DD says Moten can be a special player. Well we need a special player that can play point guard.

First offense, he's benched. Next, he'll be tied in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds*. Then, we start removing fingers. Gotta have discipline. DD is a strict disciplinarian, and the players know it going in. No excuses, dammit. This is college basketball.

Seriously though, being 15 minutes late for a bus to the airport is a bit more intense than I what pictured when this was first reported. A game suspension is stiff, but it's not like he walked in 3 minutes late to an ordinary practice. A butt chewing wouldn't have been enough, and the problem occurred at a time inopportune for extra sprints or a 6am practice.

I'll never forget the first and last time Lamon Pippin was late to a practice. He was a senior. Coach L bellowed, "Look everybody, in four years, this is a first!" And that was that. Lamon was rock solid.

whatever. those planes' aisles are plenty wide for a 2 hour flight worth of gassers. :lol: of course, when we're trying to explain our MAC hopes hinging on a recovery from a severe drink cart accident, we might look a little silly.
