Indiana State's leading scorer- Harry Marshall- suspended indefinitely

If they are standing behind what a University should stand for instead of winning at any cost I stand behind them! Good for them for doing what is right first before winning. I believe in giving people a break but enough is enough sometimes.
 
To me, this smacks a bit of the same situation as we had with Danny Granger. Marshall and some of the others on the team were Royce Waltman recruits. McKenna needed them and they played a lot last year. Now in year 2, McKenna has brought in a number of his own recruits and transfers, and maybe the leftover juniors and seniors aren't getting the playing time or the starting slots they were expecting? These kids don't have the same close relationship with McKenna as the kids had with their former coach. That happens a lot in year 2 of a new coach.
 
I'll believe this when I see it. Like it or not, Mckenna needs to show progress with the program. Even Terre Haute has expectations for its athletic programs in the W column, and that's what will either put butts in the seats and revenue for the University, or continue to be the Mausoleum that is the Hulman Center. He'll put up with the malcontents in order to win....just watch.

I agree. If anything, perhaps a lesson from Steve Merfeld may be in order. He was unwavering in his discipline while at Evansville (and rightfully so); however it cost him several good players and probably some success there. Ultimately that lack of success cost him his job. If McKenna jettisons these guys, they could be in for another long season which will get the natives restless. Talking to a lot of Syc fans at Arch Madness last year, they have expectations this year...and this was before Jake Kelly came on board.
 
I have to believe he'll be reinstated and will play for Indy State this year...his other options just aren't real attractive...unless he simply doesn't want to play college hoops anymore...

These days we have no idea who is whispering what into the kids ear. If he had any common sense we probably would not be writing about him.
 
Syc Fanatic...thanks...and that's just exactly what I had predicted...that Marshall would be back even if they had to beg him and hire his dad as assistant coach...

thus in the end, despite all the fretting by the Syc fans that we are out of touch on BradleyFans...
guess who had it precisely correct all along...
yup, the Bradley fans...
