Jim Crews gonna Jim Crews

[muskiefan82]

I am gathering that this guy is a huge dickhead, but can someone please provide me with a quick synopsis of why? I'm just out of the loop on him.

Google "Chris Mack", "Jim Crews" and "Evansville" and you should figure it out

He's a Bob Knight disciple, it sort of goes with the territory.

I tend to agree with MOR, Crews hasn't had much success as a head coach since the early 90s and there's no indication that he can recruit at any level now. His last head coaching job was at Army, which is a completely different animal.

He's Bob Knight minus the coaching ability.

And the championships...

...and the plaid sport coats.

We need more plaid sport coats.

What about Dez?

Although the two might practically seem the same, the NCAA is far more concerned with technicalities than practicalities, and technically the two are very different.

Essentially, what happened with Dez was along the lines of a school discontinuing a program. Dez never sought a transfer, and not only could he not return to the team, he could not return to the institution. All the NCAA cares about is that Dez broke no NCAA rules, and that it was impossible for him to return to the INSTITUTION, much less the team.

In the case of Drew, he merely lost his scholarship. He could still remain a student at SLU. For that matter, it was never demonstrated that he couldn't play on the team as a walk on. As far as the NCAA is concerned, it was Drew that sought the transfer, and his reason for seeking it is because he lost his scholarship.

Fair or not, that is not grounds for a waiver. It never has been as far as I know.

Is there a bylaw in support of what you're saying, or is it totally discretionary? I'm asking because I don't know.

I do know that reason often does not play a role in such decisions rendered by the NCAA, so I could see where the NCAA would make him sit a year. And I understand Drew, unlike Wells, wasn't expelled. But one would think that having your scholarship taken away, especially at a private school, would amount to de facto expulsion. Pretty terrible.
