As I see more angles, DeSousa looked like he thought better of slamming the chair down before Howard grabbed it from him so he doesn’t get a season suspension in my book.

Let's not act like Self is doing the right thing for the right reasons here. He's got to act like he gives a **** and hope that the Big 12 doesn't suspend his guys. He is playing a game and it is annoying that even Iowa State fans are falling for it.
They are all sleezy it just to the degree that they are. To say that KU is not paying players and have not been doing it for some time is crazy. Self realizes he has a good thing going, making millions and he is insulated from the payments. But he has to know its going on.
All these coaches are type A personalities, they are control freaks, and they know everything about a player, and if they do not, its because they do not want to know. So when a school like Louisville is having hookers show up and screw in coming recruits, and then say, "it was a rouge assistant, and I knew nothing about it" they are only doing so to protect their own behind.
Remember it is KU and not Louisville that is the jewel in the adidas crown. Too much smoke out there for it not to be true.
That's silly. Self isnt dumb, he knows there is nothing he can say that will affect the decision made by the Big 12. There is a 0% chance that DeSousa doesnt get suspended.
1977 LA Lakers and Houston Rockets would disagree.
Maybe. I was negative years old when that happened.
That is how it looked to me as well but if he still ended up getting a full season suspension for even brandishing it then I would understand and not argue it. You just cannot do that no matter what happened prior.
You are right, he'll get suspended, but Self is playing a game and you know it.
And that’s where I’m coming from. To coach at a place like KU, some of that is pretty much a necessity to stay on top. I don’t see that as a huge knock. I just don’t see him as a hookers and blow type of guy. He seems to handle **** like this well. He seems honest and genuine when stuff like this happens. I don’t see him as a sleezeball.
If the Kansas State player does not leave the bench and assault DeSousa then DeSousa at worst gets a technical for taunting and then the game ends with a free throw by KSU. Whoopee.
I have seen players taunt another player dozens of times just this yea by standing over them or woofing at them. This is the first time I have seen an opposing team respond to it by leaving the bench and assaulting that player for the taunting.
So instead of a free throw at the end of a boring game, we have this mess.
KSU players came and pushed him away. KU players were the first to throw punches and the first to pick up chairs
Weber is a dip **** too. I'm just saying that Self isn't saying ANY of this because he gives a **** about what his players did. The first step in ensuring that the suspensions are minimal is Self acting like he cares.
I mean, you can't seriously be blaming this on Kansas State.
Remember the game when the Iowa State fan tried to give Self a piece of his mind? That was right after a Kansas player did a **** you dunk at Hilton.
