Long short on words after solid performance

Broadway called out fans on Twitter "fake ___ fans"

Poor decision on his part, but he showed up and answered questions after games just like the rest of his teammates without incident. It was during the week the Hud made him off limits after practice.

Do I agree with what he did? No, but not everyone is awarded the same upbringing. I am the way I am because of the way I was raised as all of you are. Some of you should think about that when looking at some of these things.

I am glad everyone was so mature when they were 21. I know I am not mature at 51.

He was told to apologize afterwards and he did. But this wasn't his first time doing something questionable, most of it has remained in the program.

Mel, he has a history though. None of us were in a position like he is, and I would suspect most would revere the position of team leader in NCAA DIV1. If he needs help understanding the magnitude of his situation, someone needs to be mentoring this guy, especially if he has plans to play at the next level. IMO, Shawn's attitude has a lot to do with the inconsistency of this team. I thought that last year as well at times. But EP was the glue; too quiet at times though.

Maybe, for his sake, this can be a teachable moment.

By most accounts he's been a better leader this year. He's stuck up for his teammates when asked somewhat goading quesions (like Jay Wright/other guards after last few losses) and he's done so. You can see on the court that he's getting fired up when other teammates make plays even when he's not involved on the play. He has been vocal on the court as well and he has been fine during interviews/post games before. I certainly can't speak about locker room, but he seems to be making some progress. Last night was a little disappointing WRT the post game but he doesnt need to be crucified for it. He needs to learn from it and move forward. Of course, this entire place has been a damn mob for the last few weeks, so any little thing like this is bound to spark a reaction.

Who crucified? Many here know waaay more than whats been in the public and have been quite about it, and in most cases, its because they like Shawn Long (I do).

The thought of this makes me cringe thinking about some of the stuff I said or did at 21 :/ Luckily it's all a distant memory (not that distant). The bad thing now is that everything is now online and are going to follow these kids for the rest of their life. Technology and the future is going to be a lot scarier than people realize.

I'm going to have to have a talk with Marlin.

You should never have to apologize for being thankful.

Thank god there wasn't camera phones and social media when I was 21.
