Sterling Gibbs drops the elbow

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Seton Hall announced that they are suspending Gibbs for two games. No word what the NCAA's take will be yet.

Your right. "That's not me" isn't accurate. Somewhere, in what one hopes is Gibbs's absolute worse self, that's who is is/was. He's made amends, but he needs to accept that that very dark place WAS him and that carries a cost and requires change. He's already accepted (almost asked for) any consequences, an admirable first step. I wish him luck with real change going forward.

Snapshots of our worst moments are never pretty. We try to live the best lives we can so as to not be defined by those moments. I wish Sterling Gibbs the best, hope he learns to be a better man from this. Work to be done, but he's started in the right direction.

Agree with this.  His action was appalling and should merit punishment (suspend a couple of games), but should not lead to a permanent ban.  If it becomes a pattern, then you reassess.

watched the game and his move was one you would expect from Suh not a young man on a college team. The fact that he has taken immediate responsibility for what he has done and has continued to apologize wins my vote for a second chance.  Character is often formed by actions we wish we could take back and can't forget.

I mean...the recipient of the weak forearm "punch" was Archidiacono. I could look the other way....


I kid...sorta.

He's lucky he plays in today's era because Michael Graham or Derrick Coleman would have ended his career.

that's what boeheim said he would do if gibbs were on his team

Ha.

Same goes for Miami football, OSU football, USC football...

Heck...SMU is facing a tournament ban. They could self impose one for this year...but they will actually make the tourney. For them, it's better to let the NCAA impose the ban for next year when it won't matter for them. This stuff has been going on for a decade or more. Quite frankly, why would a program like SMU self-impose for this year when they traditionally never make it? It makes no sense. If we had a great team next year, I would want MU to self-impose a ban this year. Common sense.
