It’s good to know there are still some coaches and programs out there that do it right. Tom Izzo is one of those guys. Write it down. News came out of East Lansing that Izzo had dismissed guard Korie Lucious for the remainder of the season due to conduct detrimental to the team yesterday. Both parties publicized quotes…..

“Unfortunately, Korie Lucious displayed conduct detrimental to the program,” Spartans coach Tom Izzo said in a statement. “My focus is on this team for the remainder of the season.”

“I didn’t live up to the standards of the program,” Lucious said in his own statement. “Unfortunately, I let my teammates, my coaches, and myself down, and wish them the best for the rest of the season.”

Like I said, thankfully some programs still have a shred of decency. Renardo Sidney comes to mind.. He missed 1 game. It’s no secret these programs will sell their soul for these athletes and success. And the athletes know it. They walk around without rules, nobody can tell them anything. It’s really a shame what collegiate athletics have come to. I certainly don’t help the cause because I’m glued to the TV every Saturday in the Fall and throughout college basketball season. Thank you Tom Izzo, you are a rarity.
