Jermaine gone and Greenspan too!

Thursday, June 26th, 2008
Even before the NBA Draft tonight, 2 big stories,1.) Pacers ship Jermaine O’Neal to Toronto for TJ Ford, Rasho Nesterovic, Maceo Baston and the #17 pick in tonights draft (in addition to the #11 pick the Pacers already had.
)

-I know not many of you are real big fans of “J.O” these days or the Pacers for that matter, but I will say this…he was NEVER involved in the off the court B.S that the other players were a part of. I hope he does well. I am glad the trade happened, but J.O wasn’t the problem.
Jamaal Tinsley was and is! Oh, and where was this “tough” Larry Bird we are seeing now about 3 years ago???

2.) IU Athletic Director Rick Greenspan will step down at the end of the year due to NEW allegations against IU and the hoops program.

-This guy should have been canned a LONG time ago. He was right to get rid of Sampson quickly and to hire Tom Crean, but Sampson shouldn’t have been hired to begin with and now IU is a joke. Crean will fix things, but it will take time. Oh, and aside from Coach Hep, how have the choices been to lead the program?
rumpĀ on the way out!

Thoughts???? Anyone??????
