Two Duke Players Arrested for DWI

Banchero playing tonight…as he probably should

Not sure I agree. Thought K was a teacher on and off the court. While I agree Bouks was worst, at least one game for allowing a very bad decision would’ve been the right play.

No biggie though.

He shoulda missed a game. Learning opportunity missed.

Question. K’s grandson was a walk on put on scholarship last year. Are you kidding me? Coach K has a net worth of 45 million and his annual salary is now 9.7 million. So his daughter needed to take scholarship money for coach’s grandkid? K should have paid that tuition for his daughter who BTW is an assistant athletic director at Duke as it is. Disgusting.

They are just poor misguided lads. No reason to hold them responsible for anything. After all they are just youths.

I’m sure the NCAA will come down hard on Oklahoma State for this

Or us.

As the son of the assistant AD he can get up to 75% of his tuition covered, it seems odd if the move to a scholarship was purely financial

Even if they didn’t need the scholarship for another kid who needed the help how does K reconcile that? Another reason we don’t know about for a scholarship vs non scholarship player?

Here in CT too: Edsall and Edsall.

This is a really poor comparison.

Coaches hire their own staff. They don't hire their own AD/Assistant AD.

This is dumb

The article says aiding and abetting a DWI is charged to individuals who knowingly allow their vehicle to be operated by someone under the influence. That's different than simply getting in a car with a drunk driver.

Almost impossible to prove. I didn’t see him drink I had a couple drinks and gave him my keys.

Some people on here act like they’ve never left the house

Thought?
He’s prob the favorite to win it after Timme

Ah, gotcha. I didn’t realize that was already the consensus sentiment, I haven’t had a chance to follow non-UConn related cbball stuff this off-season.

I was basing it off just watching him play a couple games. You can tell he’s just a special talent and I haven’t gotten that vibe from watching a player for the first time since KAT.

So? Did I say anything about the difficulty of proving it?

While nominally a scholarship player, the former walk-on may have driven the star’s car, because he was drunker or even as drunk. Walk-ons in pre Uber days were expected to do that.
