Lickliter gives Tucker the Boot

Iowa men's basketball: Tucker suspended 'indefinitely' | DesMoinesRegister.com | The Des Moines Register

Nice to see someone in Iowa City is coaching with some accountability.
Doesn't mention what event brought this about.

Hawks say he was found passed out behind a bar.

Yeah.... tough to read, given he looked like he was going to be an asset to the team. But I'm glad to see Lick coaching with authority.

This helps our chances Friday.

You don't think he'll be reinstated by Thursday?

Side note...I want to ESPN.com to check out Tucker's line and noticed a picture of DG in the bottom corner where it says team photos...clicked the link, notice the whole page of our pictures

Unfortunately, he's been a non-factor for the last 3 games. He's been a great player early on, but ever since the WVU game, he's just been gone.

Lickliter's not Ferentz.

He's had a year to learn from the master. I'm pretty sure Greg will be preparing his team expecting Tucker to play.

Same thing happened to Bohall last year. If I remember right, he only played in more game the rest of the year, and then transferred.

Not even if Tucker's suspension lasts 1/3 of the season?

That was Bohall, he played like 1 minute per game before he got suspended.

The rules are different for good players (first rule of Ferentz).

Tucker will be back, and back quickly.

We need a CYBOOKIE line on his reinstatement!

I think Lickliter's a different dude than Ferentz.

I say he's gone for quite a while, and has trouble breaking into the rotation if and when he comes back.

At least someone knows right from wrong in Iowa City.(Lickliter)

You know, they were saying that he was under the weather and that's why he was not playing/shooting well the past few games.

So he felt well enough to drink enough to (allegedly) have to go to the hospital to get his stomach pumped??

Hmmm...
