They must have missed 15 uncontested layups.

Either that, or they gave up 15 uncontested Ray Jr GARBIDGE TIME DUNKZ

Tonight was probably the fault of the HL and their schedule, making them play Valpo and Deteoit back-to--back.

Speaking of douchebag CSU coaches, anyone remember the coach from late 80s or early 90s

Kevin Mackey, the cocaine addict

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Mackey

Mackey still reckoned as a rising star in the collegiate ranks. Cleveland State knew this, and signed him to a two-year, $300,000 contract in July 1990 (US$533,673 in 2013 dollars[8]). However, on July 13—only a few days after he signed his contract—Cleveland police, acting on a tip that he was a frequent guest at a crack house, pulled him over after he drove left of center.[5] He was arrested for driving under the influence and having an open container. It subsequently emerged that he'd sprayed his mouth with a breath spray before taking a Breathalyzer test at the police station. Since breath spray can alter the results of Breathalyzer tests, police took a urine sample, which revealed traces of cocaine.[2]

The Wednesday after his arrest, Mackey held a press conference in which he acknowledged a long-running problem with substance abuse. He also announced that he planned to go into rehab, and his lawyer asked Cleveland State to let him go on a leave of absence so he could complete it.[9][2] However, Cleveland State refused to do so and fired him only a few days after signing his contract.[10] Mackey subsequently pleaded no contest and in lieu of prosecution, he was ordered confined to a rehabilitation center for 60 days.[5]

In 2009, Mackey told the New York Times that at the time of his arrest, he'd been an alcoholic for many years and had begun using cocaine shortly after the 1986 NCAA Tournament. He said that he thought he was able to control it, and didn't realize how serious the problem was until his arrest. However, he has remained sober for over 20 years. Many of Mackey's former players later said that they learned from Mackey's experience and how it humbled him.
