Re: Ban Bo
First off, the Brust and Uthoff situations aren't even remotely similar. Brust had never set foot on campus, hadn't seen our playbook, hadn't run our offense or defense, didn't know each player's strengths and weaknesses, etc. Uthoff knows all those things. Bo's primary concern is his team and the players that want to be there. Frankly, I would put the same restrictions he has.
Second, the ISU restriction smells of "tampering" from the standpoint that Bo probably has reason to believe that ISU (and others) were tampering with Uthoff before his final decision came out to transfer. If he has any inkling, then you put on those restrictions and don't blame him for doing so.
I can't stand Bo. He's a jagaloon on the sidelines and damn near ruins the game of basketball with his style of play. However, he's the winningest coach in the history of the Big 10 and his teams have never finished worse than 4th in any year he has been there. Means the guy knows a thing or two about how to run a team.
