me, KCClone, etc. aren't arguing how good of a player Bubu is. We are arguing that a possible successful appeal shouldn't matter about how good of a player he is, it should be if he has a case to get back on the team. I think Hoiberg let Bubu know he'd welcome Bubu back on the team if he get reinstated or Bubu simply wouldn't waste the time doing it. He's a student currently so this is about his basketball status I believe.
Bubu Appealing
- Thread starter cy4prez7

Yeah two guys who have never played for us and one is a freshman. Kane is a better 2 than a 1, from his own mouth.
Hoiberg didn't strip it, unless you are implying Hoiberg and Leath are together on kicking Bubu out, which I don't get why Bubu would appeal if that was the case. I don't think Hoiberg has any say in this, just Leath. Let's wait and see I guess.
According to reports that I could find, this dismissal was all Leath. Neither Hoiberg nor Pollard, or even Palo, had any input.
I think he was referring to stripping the scholarship from the juco so we could get Kane.
I'm starting to get the idea that the group that doesn't think Bubu should appeal believe that he shouldn't appeal because he's not a good player and would not be helpful to the team.
Using this terrible logic, I'll play along. Why wouldn't we want another player on the team? If he's not good (as many on here believe), Hoiberg won't play him. Let's let Hoiberg decide who should get the playing time though.
Sometimes I do forget how many posters on here are better coaches and talent evaluators than Fred.

So some think that Fred doesn't value Bubu but kept him on scholarship while taking away Amardi's who I feel fills a bigger need on the team and by getting a scholly to Oregon showed he is a capable player. Bubu then appeals a decision which starts a process of transparency. This process is going to re-open up ugly information that Bubu already went through in court. He is going to go through all that on a hope that Fred will take him back if he wins? I'm sure Fred wouldn't advise Bubu to go through this ordeal if he wouldn't play Bubu or if he didn't think Bubu would make a significant contribution to the team.
I'm not advocating for Bubu to start or see an increase in playing time. That would be foolish. But the guy does have value in his role, and his absence is going to show, especially early.
um..yes. if you have it taped--
Scotty tied it--was promptly taken out, and wee imploded with Bubu
decisions about athletes should come down to the coaches and maybe AD. the university president shouldn't be involved. it's micro-managing and sets up ill will between his own employees. leath should have stuck to his job, which is fundraising.
The play by play from that game doesn't match your memory very well as it looks like SC was still in the game almost 4 mins after making his only 3 of the game in 31 minutes.

I'm not saying Bubu is guilty, but there is really only one proper response to this...

I don't think so...I believe she is a local, and that she & her boyfriend knew Palo & his friend from high school. I may be misinformed on that.
Elaborate? I don't have a problem with him getting kicked off the team for his behavior and judgement. I don't like the University President reversing his Office that is charged with enforcing code with no explanation. This basically ruins his reputation and life with no means to defend himself and no due process. I could care less about basketball, and am sure for Bubu as a 4.0 student it is more about his reputation and career than basketball at this point. I think he and the public deserve an explanation. I hate the crowd that is so concerned about "not protecting athletes" (which I dont think this is) they throw out every concept of justice. It is disturbing.
