In situations like this, I always ask myself WWJCD? (What would Jim Calhoun do?)

With that in mind, Wyatt should be suspended until after the first television timeout of the first inconsequential home OOC game (Qualifier: opponent must be from Ivy, Patriot MEAC, NEC, AEast conference only, and can't have finished in RPI top 250 last season), assuming that there isn't a big booster in the stands or something of vital importance like that where he would need to start.

That should satisfy everyone. Calhoun's a genius like that. Storrs is like the Camp David of college hoops.

Hilarious, yet sadly realistic. JC is slime incarnate. As such, he fits right in with a lot of other sanctimonious Big Least coaches such as JB (Syracuse), RP (Louisville), and MC (Cincinnati). BH (West Virginia) fit right in, but is taking his show to the Big Twelve.

And the Big East will add another JC (Memphis) that fits the bill quite well. There are a few more, but I will let others continue the list.

Wow, a whole lotta stupid in this thread. Jail time for a first time soliciting offense?

I don't see this as a big deal at all. I'm pretty sure this sort of arrest is commonplace in AC, and there is very little jail time done, if ever.

As far as how Temple handles it, 3 games sounds about right.

3 games is about right for this indiscretion, but he does have a history of attitude problems....I'm guessing that is why more severe punishment is being discussed.

Obama should legalize prostitution and pot and tax the crap out of them like everything else. Many Californians have an enormous untaxed income from grass. Think of the mega billions. The economy would recover nicely. We could layoff thousands of cops/corrections people and start a REAL jobs program for the masses. Costa Rica issues medical cards to ho's that have to be updated monthly.
As for the "morality issue" in victimless "crimes", Free Will's a bitch.

And that Fran Dunphy is a piece of work!

Very good point Mudflap. I agree wholeheartedly with that proposal. You should really be president, not this socialist Obama.

Back on topic: I agree with those saying that this is a minor defense, but SpiderDave makes a very good point. Khalif has always been a troublemaker at Temple, having been disciplined numerous times by losing minutes, and I think this might be the straw that broke the camel's back here. Dunphy is sick of this behavior, and to be honest, he knows that this is a great excuse to kick Khalif off of the team for the betterment of his team's chemistry and level of play. Don't expect to see Khalif Wyatt wearing the cherry and white next year.

He's not a troublemaker in the slightest. That is an absolute bullshit characterization. He is a great guy who is loved by everyone on campus. He is not getting kicked off, and you, of all people, haver zero inside information to say so.

Nothing like countering hyperbole with hyperbole. Everyone? Love? Come on.

I'd have no problem with this, but since they are illegal they don't really end up being victimless. Lots of abuse and even murder in those businesses, so there are victims, but that also would mostly go away if made legal.

JHG722

Do you go here? No? That's what I thought.

I don't need to go to Temple to know that not everyone loves him. Even saying that everyone who actually knows him loves him would be a stretch. I understand your point, clearly he must be very well like. I was merely pointing out that the hyperbole was drawing away from your response.

Oof. Tensions rising. Getting a little testy in here?

Back on topic: I'm not saying he isn't a good guy that is not well liked around campus. Fact is though, he is a proven troublemaker. I have seen him being disciplined before by coach Dunphy a number of times. Most recently he was sat for the first half in the A-10 tournament because he arrived late to the team meetings. And now it is this. He's still most likely a good guy, and he still is probably well liked, but his actions are starting to build up. There's a very good chance he will not play for Temple next year. I know you won't believe me when I say this, but I have an inside source who is a good friend of mine from Temple. Let me just put it this way about Khalif's chances of playing for them next year: Things aren't looking good..
