John Lamb arrested

He is gone, but who really cares. He was a walk-on who wasn't going to play.
It is actually good for Hoiberg, because he can kick someone off the team and look tough while at the same time not hurting the team.

That's an interesting point. You might be right. It would hoprfully be a "scare him straight" moment for Railey as well.

I think this oversimplifies things a bit. I know John is real close with the transfers. You kick John off the team but let Railey get by with an OWI and a public intox you run the risk of setting a double standard and upseting the players who are close with John. I think Coach Hoiberb is really walking a tight rope on this one.

One was consuming a "legal" substance. One was manufacturing an "illegal" substance. I can see a difference.

Don't get me wrong, I certainly see the difference, but I'm saying those who are a friend of John's on the team could get upset that Railey gets 2 chances to John's one.

When John transferred from Indianola, I asked a friend from Indianola about him and he gave me the universal gesture for pot smoker. It makes me wonder what Fred was thinking when he allowed this kid on the team if so many people knew this about him.

I'd heard rumors too that his departure from Morehead was something drug related. No idea if thats true, just something I've heard.

That would be nice, because Fred hasn't looked too "tough" so far.

Multiple sources are telling me that Lamb hasn't been a part of the Iowa State men's basketball program for months now. After last season, it was known by both parties that Lamb wouldn't be a part of the program going forward. That includes the 2011-12 Iowa State men's basketball season.

So yes, a former Iowa State walk-on did get arrested last night. But no, a current member of the men's basketball program didn't.

Chris says he wasn't with teamsue to academics. Still rings hollow.

**rholtgraves** · 05-03-2011, 09:04 AM

Well, it looks like we don't have to worry. He wasn't even part of the team. I just can't believe he forgot to pay taxes on his drugs.

John might be kicked out of school altogether. These are pretty serious charges.

I am not sure its Karma but one thing I have found out is: its always dangerous to make fun of another teams troubles because it does seem to come back and bite you. That being said is always fun to make fun of the "other team" and feel superior.
