Ruffin out?

[Grassman]

It would be great, for THE TEAM and the fans, if Cole-Scott could bring a little of that St. Ambrose game with him the rest of the season!
Maybe, if he was told Saint Milwaukee was coming in Tonite?

As for Daniel. What a shame. I pray, that he can resolve this issue, and have a constructive journey into the future..
Once again, nothing Good happens after 11:00PM!

[MacabreMob]

Well.... let the schadenfreudes come out of the woodwork.

I use to tell my kids that all the time

[Big Mike]

Hey G........at my age.....nothing good happens after 10 pm!

[dogsrus]

Can you blame them? This board has had a lot of threads about the misfortunes, arrests, and problems with other programs through out the country.

Do you know the definition of schadenfruedes LB? I don't blame them (those that fall under its definition) I feel sorry for them....

It could have happened earlier! Students never get to bed on a Friday untill after 2-3 PM anyway, at least I never did unless there was a great reason to be in bed. The woman probably went to the hospital to get treated and when questioned what happened the hospital is by law (in most states) required to notify the police. They than probably went to DR's apartment to inquire and than arrest him. From the time the alledge incident took place to DR being arrested could well have taken 3-4 hours.

It usually doesn't happen that way. Most Domestic arrests happen at the home and pretty soon after the incident happens. Usually if a battered women chooses not to call the police at any point before going to the hospital she's not going to start talking once she gets there.

If getting up to use the bathroom 5 times after ten falls under the category or definition of "nothing good".......I agree.

[Big Mike]

actually dog........if you do get up.....it's good!

Here is my question, what is the chance of Ruffin being reinstated anytime before the mvc tourney? Is he gone for the season?

If the reports are correct there is no way he plays in a Bradley uniform again. What a sad way for his career to end.

Only thing she has to say is that Ruffin did this and he can be arrested no matter if she wants to drop the charges or not. It's state law that an Officer has to at least arrest him, then it's up to the courts to proceed further. Which the main court date isn't until 45 days after the arrest in IL. Either way, that won't be resolved before the season over, it's all up to Bradley admin and Les to decide how long to suspend him.

[Da Coach]

Really DC...what choice do they have? This is really dissappointing.

Your team leader gets himself in to this kind of situation at anytime during the year but especially during the season.

Seriously, lefty? Have you not been paying attention to the innumerable cases in the news the past couple years?

I could give you numerous examples of coaches that did not act quickly in legal situations where it was called for. The DUI cases down I-74 went unnoticed for weeks without any mention or reaction by the coach. When he finally did react to the first case with a slap on the wrist and a zero tolerance policy, he already knew about the 2nd case and never mentioned or reacted to that one until weeks later.

The felony DUI in Champaign played out for over 6 months, including a conviction and a 15 day stint in jail before their coach made any decision about the status of that player.

And I could go on with numerous other cases involving college athletes that were swept under the rug, ignored, or delayed if you need more examples.

In fact, can you name any other legal cases at any other school where school officials reacted this promptly and discipline was issued this quickly? No. This sets a precedent for the proper way to react and handle discipline.

[Da Coach]

I was thinking the same thing. Who is awake at 5:30 if they are not going to work? Their is a game tonight why would he be up all night?

It is my understanding that the event took place hours earlier, and in fact Ruffin was at home in bed.

The 5:30 time is after the complaint was made and the arrest warrant issued, and the police arriving at his apartment.

You may just be right. I have no experience or real knowledge of domestic violence. I was taught two things concerning women, No is NO and never lay a hand on one, better to just walk away when provoked. I can say I've walked away more than once.
