I read that IU's "star freshman" basketball player Mackenzie Mgbako was arrested for showing his rump during a late-night trip to Taco Bell.
Allegedly, he was disrespectful and cursed at some employees and refused to leave when requested. He then sat in his car and would not leave as requested by the local police. He was then ordered out of the car to be arrested. He refused, which prompted an officer to break a window to gain access to the car. He had to be forcibly removed from the car and resisted arrest.
Was it?
A. He was under the influence of drugs/alcohol. I have not seen any allegations of this.
B. He feels privilege due to his basketball stardom.
C. He feels immunity due to his race.
D. All of the above.
Bob Knight would have sent the moving crew to his dorm and had him led to the nearest bus stop without thinking twice.
I'm a firm believer in due process. But, I am inclined to believe that the police officers were doing their jobs. Considering that one can't pick his nose without being on 10 security cameras and cell phones, I'd say they made 100% sure they were following procedure.
It will be interesting to see how Woodson handles this.

I’m curious to see how it’s handled as well. Not a good way to start your hoosier basketball stint.

I hope the college doesn't get involved with any of it.
This young man should hire an attorney, go through the process (and if found guilty) deal with the consequences.

Why is someone having all that money hanging out at Taco Bell. Young man around 18 with hormones and money. Seldom a good combination. The new way of paid college sports.

Probably watched too many Facebook videos of internet attorneys that tell you that you don't have to get out of the vehicle when the cop orders you to get out.

Who knows. Bum deal that I certainly don't understand, but it's easy to jump to a conclusion. I think my 1st thought was option D, too.
Let Woody and the school deal with it. How knight would or wouldn't have dealt with it is not relevant. There have been 5 coaches since he was fired. Knight didn't want anything to do with IU until last year or 2.

I agree, I liked The General but that ship has sailed. My opinion is he should be held to the same standards as the rest of us if any of us would have done that. As far as basketball goes I would venture to say this problem will go away. It shouldn't be this way but there is too much money tied up into college sports now, they are on a different level then they were 20 or 30 years ago. I am an IU basketball fan but sadly I don't think this is going to go the way it should. |

I was fortunate to coach with Bill Greene at Marion High School. He use to tell me Edwards and Jones stories.
