More importantly Self should have cut D'souza and himself before this season with the violations and everyone should have sat out. Better to take the punishment early and ask for forgiveness.
Coach K gets another title after tonight and I'm glad because Look at the Pelicans.Yeah, You like basketball, **** the lakers, clippers and celtics. Look at the pelicans. Nobody will compete with them next year. Look at the pelicans - All duke studs.
Bill Self was the full length of the basketball court away. In no way shape or form is this his fault. [Reply]

If that idiot is going to steal the ball while KU is dribbling out the clock, he and the rest of his team should be ready for the shame of getting blocked and appropriately clowned after the play.
I will be VERY SURPRISED if not SHOCKED if DeSousa is still a Jayhawk 12 hours from now. IMO KU has to dismiss him. [Reply]
It's a terrible look, but give me Self every day of the week. This is the first time anything like this has ever even been close to happening. Even when Rusty Weatherwax threatened to kill everybody, everybody kept their cool.
If this were happening regularly, yep.
Be careful what you wish for. This program isn't the same without Self. [Reply]
I saw another angle on IG. The Kstate idiot should be done for the year. Souza probably should get 4 or 5 games. The best part was the male yell leader unknowingly holding a cop back lol [Reply]

The only second chance for a violent allegation that I can think of was Vick. And its possible that the rumors were far from reality in that situation.
Giddens got a couple chances. It's been awhile, but IIRC he got in a bar fight. then played a few games, then got stabbed. Then released.
I don't remember the Giles situation, but it seemed like he was an "it's always something" guy. Only thing I legitimately remember is him dragging some chick down the stairs by her hair. That's a pretty bad look nonetheless. Not sure that deserves another chance. Even back then. [Reply]
So...Self should be fired after one incident of shoving that involved a punch or two...but it’s okay that Grayson Allen was allowed to trip players for no reason NUMEROUS times? By your logic, he should’ve been fired after Laettner. Or several other incidents.
Oh, right....Self should’ve already been canned after De Sousa’s guardian was found to have taken $2500. Because it’s not like there’s wiretap discussions of Zion’s dad demanding money, housing and a job. Or a million other programs caught playing the shoe game. [Reply]

Giles was gone immediately after that. That was the only incident I heard about.
As for Giddens, I only heard about one incident. Guy got pissed at him for talking to a chick he was interested in and got himself kicked out of the bar, then waited til closing time with a bunch of thugs and jumped Giddens and stabbed him.
He was gone shortly after. Thought it was actually a raw deal for him unless there was more to it. [Reply]
