I'm sure that in six months after he's graduated from Duke and is applying for jobs, the HR staff of the companies at which he applies won't do a perfunctory search of the internet. Especially when he's on a short list of candidates and they are looking to eliminate one or two names.Originally posted by Fitz51:
"Rasheed has been unable to consistently live up to the standards
required to be a member of our program," head coach Mike Krzyzewski said
in the release. "It is a privilege to represent Duke University and
with that privilege comes the responsibility to conduct oneself in a
certain manner.
"After Rasheed repeatedly struggled to meet the necessary
obligations, it became apparent that it was time to dismiss him from the
program."
Per the school, Sulaimon is expected to finish out the semester academically, and he is in good academic standing.
[sarcasm]Yeah, that'll lose him a bunch of jobs.[/sarcasm]
I agree with this. I view Coach K's statement as pretty innocuous and less damning than the usual "violation of team rules," which is commonly construed as a euphemism for doing drugs. I don't understand why some in this thread are implying the dismissal might have had something to do with poor play on the court. Coach K has never before kicked a player off the team, despite the fact he has undoubtedly had many kids who played poorly over those many years. (Indeed, his m.o. in such situations appears to be to encourage a transfer between seasons.) This current situation is pretty clearly an issue of bad behavior. It had to be pretty darned bad for Coach K to pull the trigger for the very first time in his long career. I don't think anyone on this board knows enough about the situation to question Coach K's handling of it.Originally posted by realcatfan:
I'm not sure the wording will cost him any more jobs than the traditional "violation of team rules." He would've still been thrown off. He would've still popped up in every news story. Violation of team rules gets construed as drugs a lot. From what Coach K said, I got the impression that he was an immature 20 year and Coach K got tired of dealing with him. I'd rather hire an immature 20 year old when he's 25-26 and has some things figured out rather than a drug addict.
ok, its coming out finally.Originally posted by TejasCat:
From what I've heard its pretty bad. I'll let it play out, but I've seen some of what I've heard mentioned on Twitter.
(My daughter goes to Duke and knows a few on the inside of this ordeal).
So he's kicked off the team but he still remains a student of the university in good academic standing. If he's such a threat to young women around campus, why just remove him from the team and not the university? To protect the women, of course.Originally posted by TejasCat:

"On the heels"? That situation occurred in 2006...9 years ago. Never mind that the allegations were completely debunked.Originally posted by Mr. Stupor:
Yikes. This is not good, especially on the heels of the men's lacrosse fiasco.
