Tiki Mayben - Uh Oh

[bob87]

So people still talking about putting CB on the hot seat? KB and his staff have got some serious issues on their hands. I hope that for KB that Tiki was the only player involved in selling on the team.

 

 

It was just one guy here who has coach on the hot seat.

You are right on the hopefully for the Bingo coach it is just one guy who is 140 miles from campus selling drugs.

There is at least one Bing poster who is under the impression that this kind of stuff will keep Broadus at Bing longer....I fail to see how that's a good thing. Right now if I was a Bing fan I'd buckle up and hope nothing else happens before he leaves either on his own volition or is shown the door, that program is a mess. One incident you can overlook, two you take notice, three or four you have to start looking at the guy running things. The AD and KB have a serious problem on their hands.

Was he attending classes at Binghamton's Troy campus?

 

This further confirms everything we have known. Broadus is a hoodlum.

Tiki Mayben is an idiot. Now he will be locked up for a long time and finally forgotten about. What a waste of talent.

"I did all I could," the team's coach, Kevin Broadus, told the New York Times Wednesday night. "I tried to help the kid."

Remember that he is innocent until proven guilty, and above all, it's just a sad thing to have to face, regardless of his guilt and whether he is ultimately convicted.

 

EDIT: The TU article reports that he was arrested, pursuant to a warrant, and found with 3.4 grams of a controlled substance on his person. Doesn't sound good.

I don't think Broadus is a "hoodlum" for trying to give a kid with talent a second (or third, etc.) chance. While I might not agree with the apparent pattern or scheme in place as far as recruiting suspect kids with talent, I can't fault him for giving kids a second chance if he in his best judgment thinks the kid can make it. In this case, it may turn out that he was wrong as to Mayben, but I don't think that makes him a Hoodlum.

 

But I still hate Bingo. UA!

I don't generally fault people from giving others second chances, but in Broadus's case he gave too many athletes too many chances. Just by virtue of having more than one questionable recruit on your squad, you run the real risk of radically altering the desired chemistry you need for the team to succeed. Broadus is guilty as charged of trying shortcuts with athletes other coaches didn't want. As others on this and the AE forum have stated, Broadus was/is much more interested in racking up short-term W's than in the long-term development of human character.

Should be interesting to see how the fans treat Broadus and Bing when they come into our house....hopefully it will be for the BPG.

[B9j2j6s]

I'm not sure fans will treat them any differently then we do now. I don't fault Broadus for giving kids with trouble pasts a second chance or third. Clearly his method has brought success to Bing.

 

If Tiki is able to get out of this situation and Broadus allows him to play on the team; then I think that will cause fans to respond in a negative way.

Tiki is kicked off the team.. some more quotes in the updated Press and Sun article

New news coming out...

 

On Sept 13th Tiki was charged on campus for possession of marijuana. This was just released to the public now...only after his arrest last night. Shady shady athletic department...

 

How does the Department really believe people will believe they knew nothing and are shocked if only a few days before he was charged for drug possession...

[I rock(ed) the Cape]

MsGDG we are going to have to have a meeting of the minds prior to the UA bingo game at the SEFCU to come up with some reeeeeeeeeeeeeal good signs
