Anyone else wish Dabo had just said our.....

three guys were suspended for breaking team rules? Would have saved us a lot of negative PR, angst, upset stomachs and frayed nerves.

Don’t know what a ####### is. I simply asked a question. Didn’t know a $&?&!$& like you couldn’t give an intelligent answer.

no i don't. with his history of suspending kids.. sammy, cain, bellamy, etc...the fact that he is standing up for these kids shows he believes in them. if we had just said "violation of team rules", rumors of street drugs would have run wild. Dabo handled it correctly, IMO.

This dude gets it! Dabo is always honest and I appreciate it. He practices what he preaches. Best is the standard and he aims for that in every facet of life!

With Dexter being involved, the media and rival fans were going to go crazy regardless.
I honestly would have expected Dabo to handle it the way you mention and not get into detail.
The fact that he did, and put himself out there for his players, says a lot to me about this situation. I respect how Dabo handled it.

Truth overcomes “sugar coating”.I hear no one on here complaining about little Nicky saying team rules which means street drugs.

I think he did the right thing. Besides, information like that would eventually leak and get out anyway. Might as well jump in front of it, especially if no wrong was intentionally done.

It's important for recruiting to have your players back all the way up until the time where you can't

I would have rather not known anything until after the B tests were back, but I that would have required the NCAA to keep things quiet. I suppose that is too much to expect.

From a PR standpoint it is best to tell the truth
Dec 27, 2018, 6:55 PM
|

Otherwise two things both likely to be worse will occur: people will make up a truth worse than the real truth actually is or, second, the truth will surface in time anyway and the fact it was withheld will appear its worse than it actually is. I think you ask a good question however.

This is the way all these should be handled unless its a drug like pot or something else. Dabo and staff took control of the narrative. The "suspended for violation blah blah" just leaves it open for interpretation and you lose control of what people say.
Putting out truth is better than the unknown that leads to the lies.

Dabo is noted for handling things the right way. I SUPPORT Dabo just as I support the Tigers and the university.

I feel certain it would've been revealed as a failed urinalysis anyhow . Think Dabo did the right thing being transparent , he just wanted to preempt any negative spin or speculation .
