Hoiberg and Nebraska Basketball In Trouble

[intrepid27]

So the Abdelmassih leave of absence probably isn't entirely health-related, huh?

Could be. Maybe he has a note from his doctor stating he is sick of watching crappy basketball.

Nick Nolte in "Blue Chips".

I thought that's what it was! If it's still being brought up, maybe it's more of a cult classic than I realized.

How big of a bullet did we dodge dumping these criminals and keeping TJ? Jamie Pollard is a mastermind. Everyone else playing Checkers, and Jamie is controlling the space time continuum.

If Hoiberg is gone, I hear Steve Prohm is available.

 

[cyclonepower]

Lol if anybody thought Matt was clean here, anybody talk to him during the b12 tournaments he would share really good info, dude couldn’t keep his mouth shut probably what is going to bite him in the butt

 

[Gunnerclone]

Remember when Matt A was “sick” last week? Lol.

I think most of us have friends that do dumb things. I know I do. I also wouldn't hire those same friends to be a primary recruiter for me at a high major basketball program.

 

[bradcyclone]

Nebraska and Hoiberg taking the fall for all the recruiting violations at Kansas and with Self? Makes sense.

I thought it was some of Nolte's best work.

Matt A cheated while he was here too. None of this is surprising.

The dudes you ignore texts from any time after 10:00 pm on Friday’s or Saturdays because you know not only is nothing good going to happen, but your chances of arrest or injury go up by 50% just by being their presence.

This is probably the only thing that kept Iowa State out of trouble. I'm sure we was dirty here as well, he just struck out on everyone. Hard to commit a recruiting violation when you don't land anyone.

(I don't think Royce and Kane count - that was early in the transfer days and especially with Royce's reputation we didn't have competition we needed to outbid)

Ummm. We beat out Kentucky and Baylor for Royce's services. That should (and did) raise an eyebrow or two.

 

[cyfanatic]

Wait...are there reports? Or is this tweet about a report that is going to be released...maybe? If the reports of violations are out there can someone link them? Not doubting it...just either missed it or confused because we really have only been told that USA Today is going to out something...right?

When you jump back and forth between college and NBA like he did I can see how you get mixed up on whether the players are allowed to be paid. Just a simple misunderstanding.

Man, if this turns into much, this is a bummer to me. I'm pretty indifferent to how Fred does at Nebraska but would prefer to not see him go out of coaching like this.

Agree, though to anyone saying "this is the end", Rick Pitino says hi!

 

[Clonefan32]

I will say it would have to be a real bummer to cheat and still be that bad.

I’m not usually a big fan of schadenfreude, but in this case,

Is that like the new cool buzzword? I see people using it all the time now
