    it is obvious that none of you have been confronted by the working end of Lee Dawson's fist.

      now in this day and age, we cant physically intimidate players, but we can continue to do it for soldiers? can drill instructors use racial/homophobic slurs in basic these days? do you think that without rigorous training that our boys would just surrender if verbally assaulted by an enemy? "Oh my god, he called me a pussy. Here, you can have Guam".

      recruits talk to current players. they know what they are getting into, and they are free to leave. there are plenty of people in this world who are simply driven to succeed even further by this type of leadership.

      also, would you say that current training is also helping soldiers succeed in the real world after their service is complete?

      Comparing military basic training, which comes with the general idea that soldiers will be put into extremely dangerous situations wherein they are shot at by enemy forces and is an accepted reason for why it is so tough, to something as relatively innocous as college basketball practices is a ginormous logic fail.

      Frankly, if this comparison is your defense of Mike Rice it's very, very hard to take you seriously.

          One of the best coaches I ever watched used to say things such as: "If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball." Sure he was tough on his players both physically and psychologically, but he got results. That was a great coach, who like Coach Rice, maybe went in to that gray area with his players.

            It is a silly and ridiculous question to even just ask.

                Fine. Fair enough.

                To answer your above question...BECAUSE IT'S THE FREAKIN' MILITARY. Big difference between the military and a basketball practice at the state university of New Jersey. Do you honestly not see the difference?

                      Do you understand why people think you are a freak on here? You just have to argue about everything. How are your hawkeye's doing tonight?

                        Sounds like a few people think Pitino should have fired a ball at Ware and told him to get his *** up!

                            Pitino was too busy thinking about firing his balls at some lady in the kitchen at the restaurant next door to the arena.

                              its a completely fair question. if you cant defend your comments, then its probably best to keep quiet.

                              been served any restraining orders lately?

                                1988 should be restrained from using apostrophes.
