So Ben McLemore got a MIP in November, didn't tell Self, and skipped out on his court date. He's been arrested again as a result. This guy was a partial qualifier to begin with. Does he ever see the court as a Jayhawk?

KC_Connection · 12-13-2011, 05:55 PM

Because Jayhawk basketball players have never played for Self after getting arrested and missing court dates?

If he's good enough, he'll play.

Definitely not the smartest thing to do.

He's already out for this entire season for other reasons. 2 arrests on top of that is a pretty big black mark.

He'll be practicing in January, don't you worry your pretty little face about it, Saul.

Getting an MIP and not showing up to court both get filed under "stupid" and not "troublemaking." He'll end up better conditioned as a result, that's about it.

Its a MIP, I'm pretty sure half of every D1 basketball team has been busted for MIP.

I got a MIP in college, told my golf coach. Didn't even get suspended. How do you go to college and NOT get an MIP that is the question.

The same way people get away with drunk driving, dumb blind luck.

Getting a MIP isn't a big deal. Not telling your coach about it and getting arrested for failing to show up at court is a very big deal.

Uhhh, wrong.

“Ben was arrested today for missing a Dec. 6 court date, which is obviously not acceptable. Ben, not 21, was given a citation earlier for possession of alcohol at Abe and Jake’s, a local Lawrence establishment. He exercised poor judgment,” KU coach Bill Self said in statement. “He also did not let anyone know that he had been cited and had a court appearance because, certainly, we would have made sure he was there.

“This will be a learning experience for him and probably a fairly costly one. Any other discipline will be handled in-house. He should begin practicing with our team when grades are turned in (following the fall semester).”

Its not "2 arrests" - one was a citation. Not much more serious than a speeding ticket (until he lied about it and skipped out on court, which was completely idiotic)
