Based on a couple separate reports I am beginning to suspect some serious ethical issues involving the Illinois coaching staff.
In this morning's Peoria Journal Star, this statement is made,
'A member of the Illini coaching staff takes Smith to Carle"
I have also seen several published reports that Jamar left his unconscious friend in the car as he went into the apartment to call one of the assistant coaches.
Also, one of the Champaign news stations identified that an assistant coach was called by Smith and then came quickly to the apartment complex in Savoy, arriving shortly after the paramedics arrived, as the bystanders at the apartments called 911.
An interview with the woman who called 911 was on one of the Champaign news stations (WCIA) last night in which she said,
"the car's driver entered the parking lot and went into an apartment. He and at least one other man came back out but made no effort to summon help and left to go back into the apartment. The injured man in the car (Carlwell) regained conscousness and began honking the horn. That's when the woman called 911."
The state's atty. said:
???‚¬?“(Smith) was able to drive the vehicle back to College Fields Apartments (where Smith lives and where the duo had been drinking in another apartment).
???‚¬?“Two witnesses saw the damaged vehicle pull into the parking lot and saw a tall man exit the vehicle and enter the apartment building.
???‚¬?“They also saw an unconscious passenger in the vehicle. They then saw the tall man and a second man return, approach the car, and then leave and go back into the building.
???‚¬?“The witnesses called 911 at 11:40 p.m. No other 911 calls were made. Sheriff???‚¬?„?s deputies and U of I police arrived and found Brian Carlwell unconscious in the car. He was removed from the vehicle and taken to Carle Hospital.
???‚¬?“Further investigation revealed that Smith had gone to his apartment in the College Fields complex. A number of other basketball team members were in the apartment. ???‚¬?¦ At approximately 1 a.m., witnesses and U of I officers located Smith and transported him to Carle Hospital, where he was treated and released.???‚¬??
So between about 11PM and 1PM Jamar Smith, several of the other Illinois basketball PLayers who had also been drinking, and at least one illinois assistant basketball coach were all there at the apartments, but none of them called 911, none of them aided Carlwell, and none of them gave any assistant or information to the police, until around 1AM.
What was going on from 11:40 or so until 1AM?
Clearly Jamar, the other players, and the Illinois assistant coach were thinking only of themselves and how to dodge the inevitable issues that were going to arise.
And why is nothing being said nor done about all those other drinking basketball players and the coaching staff that seemed to go along with all this horrible judgement?
Just who is accountable here?
And just whose tax $$ is paying all these guys' multi-hundred thousand dollar salaries and scholarships?
