I've never been one to point another's shortcomings, flaws, or ill-fated decisions. Fact is, those things are a part of life.
We all have problems to some extent, some more apparent than others.
But when I take a glance at the Eastern Washington men's basketball team, I can't help but think of the aforementioned.
*A head coach who was stopped for a DUI last month

*A player who goes AWOL after Christmas Break.

* Benny Valentine overcoming his legal issues in contributing big for the Eagles

And these are just the non-academic issues I've been hearing about.
Perhaps I have a distorted perception of this program. These issues just have me thinkin'. I grew up 45 minutes from Cheney campus and remember the days of Giacoletti (sp). Less drama during his tenure.
