More shakeups in the DePaul Athletic Department, this place needs a revolving door.

Evansville gets a new walk on player. Andy Chinn who starred at Tell City HS. He is a 5-10 PG.



My last comment....is on a discipline issue. I am sure most have read this headline:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/07/sports/basketball/07nba.html

"The N.B.A. on Thursday suspended the Orlando Magic All-Star forward Rashard Lewis for 10 games for violating its policy on performance-enhancing drugs"

Seriously, 10 full games?
The guy gets caught cheating, his team just made it all the way to the NBA FINALS with a cheater as one of the key players! and all the NBA does is tell the guy to sit out 10 games, then everything's OK.
If I get caught driving without a license and under the influence of illegal substances, I hope the officer tell me that my penalty is to sit out ten minutes, then go ahead and drive all you want!
This is ridiculous and shows me that the NBA doesn't have the least bit of interest in limiting the use of dope in the NBA.

The few people who have come forward in pro sports with honest and unpressured testimony such as Ken Caminiti and Jose Canseco suggest the use of drugs is way more widespread than most think, with not just 50% or more pro athletes doing it, but maybe even more like 90% doing it. As long as the sports remain popular and money is rolling in, the sports really don't want to police too hard or get too many headlines for drug use.
