Live Press Conference

[LadyMuskie]

On Channel 19 (http://www.fox19.com/category/176484/fox19-wxix-live-streaming-from-19news?clienttype=generic&mobilebypass). Can't hear the questions very well, but . . .

I missed the very beginning.

[LadyMuskie]

Uh . . . a report has been filed about Jalen? What?

[THRILLHOUSE]

Welp thats no good. But Mack says Jalen is traveling with the team and will play, and that it will take 4 - 5 weeks for any University investigation. So who knows what exactly is going on.

[LadyMuskie]

Can we live? I mean, seriously. Just one damn season and/or off season with no rumors, no upsets, just peace and quiet. Is it too much to ask?

[markchal]

Report about what? I've heard from numerous people that Jalen is the nicest guy on the team.

[THRILLHOUSE]

Mack wouldn't go in detail and after the first question Mack said he wouldn't take any more questions about it.

[LadyMuskie]

Report about what? I've heard from numerous people that Jalen is the nicest guy on the team.

Don't know. Mack said he wasn't going to talk about it besides to say it would take 4 to 5 weeks to investigate. And they don't have the mike turned up for the reporters, so there's no telling what the questions actually are.

[BMoreX]

God dammit

[markchal]

Damn. And here we were complaining that we weren't getting enough mentions in the media...

[LadyMuskie]

And I think Shannon Russell is already on her flight out west. It just keeps getting better.

[THRILLHOUSE]

Saw this on Twitter:

FOX19Amy ‏@FOX19AmyW
Coach Mack confirms there is a report of alleged assault against Jalen Reynolds. Reynolds will travel with the team AND will play

[D-West & PO-Z]

Wtf?

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Oh please, No! We do not need any of this.

Pretty sure thats not he said but ok.

[xavierj]

Apparently a complaint was filed a few days ago and initial investigation didn't reveal anything but they will investigate fully with all involved. Doesn't sound like much, if it was major, he wouldn't play.

[LadyMuskie]

<sigh>

At least it sounds like it's being handled better than certain other situations were handled.

[THRILLHOUSE]

Pretty sure thats not he said but ok.

Well the reporters weren't mic'd so we couldn't hear what they asked. Possible they asked something along the lines of "there is a report of an alleged assault involving Jalen Reynolds, any comment on the matter"

[LadyMuskie]

Pretty sure thats not he said but ok.

He acknowledged a report had been filed. Didn't say what the report was about, but I couldn't hear the question. He did say Reynolds would be on the plane and would play.

[markchal]

Well, I guess history does show us erring on the side of caution, given that Dez was railroaded then allowed to play immediately by the never-forgiving NCAA.

[coasterville95]

Apparently not, unfortunately.

That's from awhile back. Check the date.

[D-West & PO-Z]

http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/28/xavier-suspends-reserve-forward-jalen-reynolds-indefinitely/

That is from last year.

[GoMuskies]

http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/28/xavier-suspends-reserve-forward-jalen-reynolds-indefinitely/

Damn you with that out of date headline that freaked me out!

[LadyMuskie]

http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/28/xavier-suspends-reserve-forward-jalen-reynolds-indefinitely/

Is there some reason you're posting an article that's over a year old. Time to take a break from the board, Greg.

[markchal]

http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/28/xavier-suspends-reserve-forward-jalen-reynolds-indefinitely/

I believe this was academic-related, and has nothing to do with the current situation.

[azgreg]

Sorry guys. :biggrin:

[muskiefan82]

Jalen was only averaging 2.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 10.1 minutes? This must be NCAA Tournament only. Did anyone check to see if the alleged complaint came from one of Huggins' daughters?

[D-West & PO-Z]

Jalen was only averaging 2.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 10.1 minutes? This must be NCAA Tournament only.

Last year.

[kyxu]

Wouldn't be surprised if the rims in Jacksonville were the ones filing this assault complaint. Zing!

EDIT: Need a little levity here.

Ummm....this is from a year ago...

[Cheesehead]

Posting an article from a year ago that scares the beejesus out of us is grounds for banishment.

[muskiefan82]

Seconded!

Can you wait until Friday to do that?

[Cheesehead]

Can you wait until Friday to do that?

Well, since I am not the Admin, I have no authority. I was only kidding but WTH, AZGREG?!!

[LadyMuskie]

Well, since I am not the Admin, I have no authority. I was only kidding but WTH, AZGREG?!!

This is all one big funny joke to Greg. If you go check out Greg's post on his own board using the link Dwest posted, he's not this friendly, just out to make new friends ambassador he's making himself out to be.

[Cheesehead]

Well, banishment it is I guess. Screw him.

[muskiefan82]

Perhaps some cathartic neg repping would help?

[X-Fan]

Sorry guys. :biggrin:

I believe we've found our sacrificial Ban-Lamb.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Rumor has it, it shouldnt be too serious.

[markchal]

This is a university report, right? I think if it was serious there would be a police report/arrest. Without knowing any details whatsoever I think I agree with Dwest&Poz that this will end up being minor. Timing sure is awful, though.

[Milhouse]

Yeah...I hope its nothing serious. Ugh.

[bleedXblue]

You don't go public with this kind of thing if the accusation is minor.

[Milhouse]

You don't go public with this kind of thing if the accusation is minor.

You do if you're xavier and you want to make explicitly clear you are not trying to hide anything.

[xudash]

This is all one big funny joke to Greg. If you go check out Greg's post on his own board using the link Dwest posted, he's not this friendly, just out to make new friends ambassador he's making himself out to be.

If that's how he wants to spend his time, that's his problem, not ours.

[OH.X.MI]

You do if you're xavier and you want to make explicitly clear you are not trying to hide anything.

I agree. Transparency is everything with Universities these days. I've heard from people on campus that there was a small altercation the other night. Sounds like it's a typical "investigation" the school needs to conduct for any disturbance on campus, but nothing major. That's all second hand though, so take it for what it's wroth.

[markchal]

You don't go public with this kind of thing if the accusation is minor.

I don't think Mack volunteered it, he was asked about it in a press conference.

[bleedXblue]

that makes sense I thought he called a presser just to get this out

[LadyMuskie]

Matt spoke first.

[X-Fan]

Ya, that was my impression from this thread.
