Terrible situation at IU

[NavinRJohnson]

Hope the kid is ok. Things just don't seem to get better in Hoosierville.

Good grief. That's awful news.

Early reports are odd (critically injured; hit moments after exiting car).

At what point do the program's supporters place blame on Crean for these repeated legal issues? (or transfers... or losses)?

Rough. But they can be good this year.

Why not pray for the kid and leave the other BS out?

Why exactly is it BS? You think people are incapable of doing both?

[Skatastrophy]

I'd want the driver off my team immediately. Dope.

Because it is people trying to be funny, or prove how smart they are or whatever, when a kid is fighting for his life. It has nothing to do with Tom Crean.

Eh...we don't know what happened. Could just as we'll be a case whe Davis was being the dope.

My response was to Teddy in a different thread that then got merged into this one.

The guy was more worried about the coach then a seriously injured player.....that's BS coming just a few hours later after an accident like this.  IMO.

Who was trying to be funny? Who was showing how smart they are? How do you know the kid is "fighting for his life?"

Was it a terrible accident? Yes, but why is it somehow out of bounds to mention the impact on the team, crean, etc? To think that this does not have an impact on Crean and his perception, given the fact he really hasn't lived up to the standards of that fan base (justified or not), you're kidding yourself.

Maybe the title of the post is a clue.


I know how this thread is going to go....I'm out.

Hope Devin Davis is OK.

[Jay Bee]

Let's not forget about the other basketball player who hit Davis. As Crean said this morning, the Hoosier family will rally around him as well.

Didn't something similar happen at Illinois a few years back? Tough situation

[River rat]

More problems in Bloomington, must be jucos

[4everwarriors]

What kinda program is the maestro runnin' down there? Totally lost all control, hey?

You're a bit short on details.

Can you lose something you never had?

Completely classless post. A kid is in the hospital in serious condition and you want to make fun.

Passengers in the car claiming that Davis ran into the roadway. Could be a tragic accident that wasn't necessarily on the driver...though he had been drinking underage (0.025 BAC).

Think Davis tried to pull a stunt a la Kobe?

Nothing but prayers for Devin Davis, his family, friends and teammates.    To do otherwise right now is inappropriate.

Not sure if it's the same incident. I recall one player leaving the other kid in the car and taking off, leading to team problems. This could be that incident, but if so it seems an early account.

You just wonder what the heck happened in the IU situation and hope everybody is OK physically, however team problems after something like this could linger.

Prayers for a speedy recovery for Mr. Davis and for the well being of the Indiana campus.  I can't possibly imagine the guilt Mr. Holt is feeling.  The kid likely had 2 beers; far fewer than many other Frosh had on Friday night.  Sure he violated rules.  So does everyone.  So did I.   

This is a tragic accident; one that all parents of new college students fear.  Of course the light shines brightly because basketball players are involved.  A reminder for all is that young college students and cars don't mix very well.  Peace.
