Simple Things Always Made Hard

Plenty of talk  about what should the punishment be for any school that is caught cheating like Syracuse  and for the most part who needs to get punished.  Most of the so call cheating took place as far back as eight years ago.  So do the upcoming Syracuse players get hit when the team will not have a scholarship to give out for four years.



I say this, If you want to stop cheating in college sports instead of taking away 108 past wins suspend Boeheim  for at least a year  or more.  Make it like when you lose your driver license you must go to a driver training school to get you license back after you have been without them for a year.  Take away a coaches ability to make a living.  If assistant coaches are caught as part of the violators sit them too.  The head coach is the captain of the basketball program and any thing his assistants do he is responsible for their actions.  You see it is not all that hard to take action if the NCAA has the guts to.



Looks like Wednesday is unfolding nicely for me and Andy Holt as we venture to the ACC tournament.  Nice to have a son-in-law that works for one of the ACC corporate sponsors.  FSU and Clemson open up the action at Noon.  Doubt we will see all of that one.  The Tar Heel will swing into action at 2pm and I will cheer for the Heels.  The WolfPack takes the floor at 7 against Pitt and Miami  finishes off Wednesday night.  I doubt seriously if I see much of that game before heading the road.



Hunt lost in the Eastern Regional finals to Terry Sanford 65-52.  The final score was out of line to the flow of the game.  Four minutes to go the score was 47-46  so Terry Sanford outscored Hunt 18-6 down the stretch.



About three weeks ago we told you of former Gryphon Collins Cuthrell who started off his senior year having transferred to UNC Pembroke.  His first weekend to now Collins batting average has only slipped to one hit below 500 after 18 games.



He has been to the plate 80 times collecting 39 hits.  Of his hits ten have been doubles and he has homered 12 times.  By the way that is a 488 batting average.  He has scored 30 runs and has driven 37 RBI.  To say the least every time Collin has been to bat he has hit it some where because he has struck out only nine times.   These are numbers that could make him a national player of the year candidate in division two baseball.
