Oso planning to go pro
My gosh! Unless there has been a pattern, other disciplinary issues, unwillingness to admit to his wrongs, etc. pretty harsh. These are young guys who can make mistakes. No, I do not tolerate spousal/realationship violence. I have been married for 32 years, together for 35 and have never hit my wife. There must be some other issues here and if so, I hope he sees this as a warning sign and gets help
? So you make a statement that you don't tolerate this type of violence and then question why the school decided not to tolerate it either?
Yeah, rocket, but how many times has your wife hit you?As for Nunn ... I knew there was something squirmy about him. No wonder Buzz cooled on him.
you did read my whole post, right? my point was, if there had been a pattern of issues INCLUDING using his girlfriend as a punching bag-yes the univ. should jettison him. if this were his first time, and he was humble and accepted responsibility and treatment, then it was harsh. if nunn had been involved in other issues as well and this was the final straw-see ya
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
Right--so what you are saying is that you do have a tolerance for spousal violence. It seems that when there is a pattern you have less tolerance.
Jaylon Tate was Nunn's HS teammate at Simeon (and both were HS teammates of STj and Jabari Parker). Tate and Nunn were teammates and roommates at IL!Tate was arrested one week before Nunn for hitting his girlfriend too. That was the fourth arrest this year of an Illini ball player.The Illini are a dumpster fire. Why does Groce still have a job?
i see what you are trying to do here-let me try this one more time just to try to be clear. i have NO tolerance. it is always unacceptable. there. now, should someone's life be ruined by it? this is where we need to use some critical thinking skills. as i mentioned above-what were the circumstances, was it a slap, a beatdown, was it the first time or is there a pattern, is there humility and a sense that a wrong occurred? what is the rest of the story? all these things should be taken into account.
Ziegler said some time later, the woman called the police and said that she and Nunn do indeed have a relationship and that something had happened. Officers returned to her apartment.“She said they were arguing about their relationship and whether or not she owed him money and at some point he did push her and strike her in the back of the head. During the physical part of the altercation is when Champaign police showed up,” Ziegler said.Ziegler said police reported seeing red marks on her neck and shoulder. They took photos."
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I would hope that no one else would pick him up but I know that's not how the world works.
The Illini are a dumpster fire. Why does Groce still have a job?
Great example of why you don't hire a coach based on one NCAA Tournament run. Groce had 2/3 losing conference seasons and a 23-25 record before his final season at Ohio.They won the MAC Tournament despite finishing third in their division and beat Michigan and USF before falling to top seed UNC in overtime. One Sweet Sixteen run and suddenly he's a Big 10 coach?Of course, Illinois swung and missed on the usual suspects (Stevens, Smart, etc) first, but Groce always felt like a bit of a desperation hire, hoping to catch lightning in a bottle from a guy with a very thin head coaching resume.
To be fair, Groce was hired not only based on the S16 run, but because he was Thad Matta's longtime assistant at Butler, Xavier and OSU. His resume isn't that much different than Painter's.
