Taber sucks?? He may not be the most athletically gifted person on the planet, but he doesn't deserve "fans" like you saying he sucks. Try writing something productive next time or keep it to yourself so we don't have to read it.

Re: NCAA advises IU to halt the barnstorming tour

Ok, so you named three recruits.....who were the other 97? Bashing Sampson I get, dissatisfaction toward Davis I get, but bad-mouthing a coach who won three titles? That doesn't make sense at all. The Bob Knight era ended, whether you loved him or hated him, dwelling on his ability to recruit is useless. However, since you decided to rant about the recruits he didn't get, let me leave you with a few names: Scott May, Kent Benson, Isiah Thomas, Damon Bailey, Calbert Chaney, Steve Alford, Brian Evans, Alan Henderson, Jared Jeffries, I could keep going.....

Finally, someone else recognizes who really coached that team.

I am embarrassed to be associated with the same fan base as you. I don't know who you are, or what your connections may or may not be, but it is not your place to label this kid as a "criminal in the making."

This is a blog for discussing IU basketball, not getting on your soapbox and attacking a 20 year olds' character. Unless you have NEVER made ONE mistake in your entire life I suggest you keep your judgments to yourself. Jamarcus certainly was not good for this team, and I'm not heart broken that hes gone, but I do hope his new coach is able to provide some much needed guidance and that he gets his life pointed in the right direction. He has a long road ahead of him, and just because he has made some bad decisions doesn't mean he is bad person.

I don't think anyone should be FORCED to go to college. If a player has the talent and wants to test the waters in the NBA he should be allowed that option. I think the NBA should adopt the same rule as MLB: Players are allowed to make the jump from high school to the pros and are developed in the Minor leagues, much the way the NBA used the NBDL. However, if a player opts to go to school he must commit three years to his institution. This allows players ready to make the jump the option to do so, while stabilizing collegiate athletics by eliminating the "one and done" player.
