Sounds like he missed a shoot around or a meeting or something.

Another coach atleast willing to take somewhat of a stand. It is a conference tournament game. Unlike Urban Meyer, suspending a drunk driver passed out behind the wheel, for a half a game. The game where they were favored by 35.5.

Let's not get carried away and say it was a team meeting or something minor. For this suspension to take place, at this time of the year, it was something serious that is obviously being covered up.

I know of a top program where a player beat up his girlfriend, but the program had control over the entire city, including the police department, that charges were not filed and the player missed 2 games due to "violation of team rules".

The same could be said that you're getting carried away in thinking its something major and criminal....

You obviously don't know anything about Izzo. It doesn't have to be anything serious to be suspended. No matter what time of year.

I agree with Dynasty...I think whatever Allen did, it was more then just being late for a meeting or practice to be suspended "indefinately". Not saying it was serious...but its probably more then just minor. Even Izzo wouldn't ding the entire team for something minor.

Izzo has done this in the past sometimes there has been "motivational" issues with some players...

Good point. I definitely don't think it's anything serious like a crime committed, but maybe he got busted by campus security smoking a blunt. Something along those lines is what would be my thinking. Nothing serious, but something more than showing up late to a team meeting or a practice.
