Sulaiman, dismissed from the team.

I just heard this on the news. It said he was not living up to team standards because of his behavior. Very disappointing.

FSD. Bad for him, bad for the team. Gotta be something bad he's been doing. Repeatedly.

It must have been really bad, whatever it is.

For the first time in YEARS, I posted OY. Would you all go over to the Rasheed thread and give me some pitchforks, please?

Here's what I posted, in case any of you want to know. . .
I'm going to wait to see how this whole thing plays out, but it MAY end up being a matter of "addition by subtraction." You know, when one person leaves, the rest of the group becomes better? I hope that's the case here. I'm fairly certain that Coach K knew exactly what he was doing in dismissing Rasheed from the team.

After Allen Williams' junior year (1981-82), Coach K allowed Allen to keep his scholarship and finish his senior year, but Allen did not practice or play during his senior year. Of course, that situation is a little different from this one in that Coach K didn't recruit Allen Williams. He inherited him from Coach Foster.
But, please! Give me some pitchfork love!

For what it's worth, sources I have close to the team and ones I have close to the Duke Women's Center are all saying the dismissal is related to something that we may find more about in the future.

My sources close to the Women's Center are speaking up tonight, too. We can only hope that it isn't as bad as it could be.

From GoDuke.com- http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml? ... EM_ID=4200

DURHAM, N.C. – Duke junior guard Rasheed Sulaimon has been dismissed from the Duke basketball program as announced by head coach Mike Krzyzewski Thursday. Sulaimon remains in good academic standing and is expected to finish the spring semester.

I hope this is true because it tells me we're not looking at anything criminal. I wish him all the best and I hope this a bump in the road that he can learn from become the person he wants to become.

Thank you all for the pitchforks and sporks OY.

I've refrained from posting OY because it seemed that every time I posted something, somebody would jump all over my post and chastise me for being "wrong." I grew tired of that. (Especially since I knew that I was right!) ;)

Riiiiiiiiight!!!

In all seriousness (yes, really), click on someone's post and go to the bottom left where there is a box that has a green :) or a red :( and click on it. Another box comes up to ask you whether you approve or disapprove of a poster's entry. If you approve, they get + reputation points or, if you disapprove, they get - reputation points. Pitchforks (or sporks) are awarded for each ~200 + points you accumulate.

At the bottom left of any post OY, there is a little box with a green smiley and a red frownie. Click on that, and a box will come up and ask what you think of the post, with the options being "I approve" and "I disapprove." The default is "I approve." There is a place for comments, and just below that is a box that says "add comment." Click on that and you are done. The site automatically signs your name to a spork or non-spork, but if (like me) you don't know if a person will recognize you, you can put your name.

When I started lurking OY, I used the name merlindevildog91 but Lawgrad is so much more efficient (except that autocorrect calls me "laggard.") :9f:
