How does a head coach not know when one of his players fails a drug test?

Melo?? How does a player become academically ineligible TWICE in a 2 month period?

Is Syracuse a #1 seed without Fab Melo?

IMO, 'Cuse bball has more to worry about than what seed they are...things are piling up, and I've got a feeling something's going to explode :o

To be fair the Head Coach did not know what Bernie Fine was up to for 35+ years...so he says.

Seeding has been decided for a couple of days now so not sure who is worried about seeding at this point.

And other than my fucking head....what else is going to explode?

@SethDavisHoops: My understanding is that situation w Melo not related to what kept him out in Jan. Same category ("eligibility") but different situation.

@SethDavisHoops: Also sounds like this was initiated by info unearthed by Syracuse, not the NCAA. School must work in concert w/ NCAA on final decision.

@SethDavisHoops: Technically in final analysis this is the school's call but that doesn't mean they agree with NCAA's interpretation of the info.
