OT: Zach Freemantle Suspended Indefinitely

[WhereistheDove?]

Yea, you would be wrong.

Sort of odd to quote my post there. My post about how the (clearly in jest comments about team dinners and meatloaf) comments are specifically related to Sean Miller's history and not the specific event that we still don't know the details of.

Do you not know what word "indefinite" means?

Some of the responses in here on it only being two weeks shows are quite idiotic.

No idea. I'm actually illiterate.

You mean your response in which you were defending the people who were mocking it for being only 2 weeks?

So the answer to my question is serious. Too bad. You missed a great opportunity to offer hyperbole to hyperbole!

But even if you are correct and the responses you are criticizing are indeed hot takes it seems to me you have chosen an odd thread to make your response.

If nothing else The Boneyard is a Universe (hyperbole) of hot takes. If hot takes were removed from this forum this place would be crickets (hyperbole).

Aggravating as hot takes often are I suggest you reread this thread from a perspective of humor and recognize how hilarious (maybe hyperbole) it is.

Maybe some folks had a different intent. I took the comments as making fun of Sean Miller for a totally toothless suspension.

My take as well

Sounds like a coach sending a kid a message. The word indefinitely is pretty scary . It could mean anything from 24 hours to permanently.
Whatever he did he will probably think twice before he does it again.
The coach will probably make sure returning to practice is not fun for awhile just as a reminder .

Duke set the standard of a 24 hour "indefinite" suspension. That word doesn't mean anything anymore

The word indefinite still means what it always has.

The problem seems to be some people in the thread don't know what the word indefinite means.

The idea of a word like indefinite is to plant in the mind of the offender that it could be any length of time the coach thinks is appropriate. You as coach want him to believe the worse. However for that to work you have to have some history of suspensions of significant duration or it’s meaningless.

What’s really impressive is that means that you just hit keys at random to come up with that response.

You seem to be knowledgeable on the subject. Is there any reason that you wouldn't want to educate a fellow fan?

It's as though you might prefer that they remain ignorant and in the dark so that you perhaps can feel superior to them and refer to their lack of knowledge as a problem.

What else could explain your being so coy?
