Here we go again

MEMPHIS HEAD COACH JOHN CALIPARI COMMENT

“Late Tuesday evening, I learned of an incident concerning one of our players, Robert Dozier. We are finding out all the facts, and if University or team policy was violated, I will deal with it in a fair and firm manner like I always have.”

All of the details of this will be out soon. This is totally predictable, and sad. The "fair and firm" manner in which things are dealt with have always continued to create an environment where players can do anything. I asked after the riot at the club this summer.. when will it end? When somebody gets shot? At some point, a different standard must be set, or these type of problems will continue and put Memphis basketball in the news for the wrong reasons... as this will.
