To address Point 1- yes is the answer. Fact is he was an alcoholic, very well documented. He acted like a jackass last night and deserves the criticism. Nobody uses sideline antics to determine if a coach is an alcoholic, but LE was a big boy and made his own reputation.wylrae said:Three points:
(1) Is it really necessary to accuse a previous alcoholic of being hitting the bottle again based on his actions on the sidelines and his post game comments? Boy if sideline antics are a standard for determining alcoholics, guess that coach at Indiana who threw the chair across the court and the guy who in the AA went on a rant and was pounding on the scorer's table were alcoholics!
(2) As for a player diving through another player to get to the ball with no foul being called is certainly nothing new in basketball. Has been going on for years. I do think it is more prevalent in some conferences than others but I can't comment on whether it is allowed against any one player on a team than the other plays; would probably appear that way because it is happening to the team's "go to" player.
(3) I am probably more reserved about getting hyped up about a season before conference play is even half way over. Have seen the bottom fall out too many times and with our OOC schedule and SOS could see that happening at the end of this season even if we don't stumble too badly in conference play.

Alcoholism isn't a joke and not really fair game. It's really no different than mocking Dave Rice for having an autistic kid. When fans mock one person as an alcoholic, they mock all alcoholics, recovering or otherwise...Wyolie Coyote said:To address Point 10- yes is the answer.

Really?! You are comparing alcoholism to autism? Somehow I would hope we are smarter than thinking they are anywhere close to being comparable.Wyovanian said:Alcoholism isn't a joke and not really fair game.
