Slu let the dogs out? Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Saw that come across my phone in the dentist chair this morning and thought I was just high still. Sad stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 A very unfortunate situation, and an unfortunate headline that might lead readers to presume guilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't take issue with it; I said it's "unfortunate" and explained why I feel that way. I don't know if there's any other way to word the headline, but I think the initial impression it provides is unfortunate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first question-presumption if you will- was Coach drinking? Was he speeding? That’s what I looked for in the article and it was quickly answered, no he wasn’t.

Old guy Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I am not sure of this, but if you kill someone in a car accident this can count as a manslaughter indictmeent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheltiedave Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 No. Coach B changed lanes to avoid an accident(the wrecked car) and happened to hit the person who was walking in an interstate traffic lane, well after dusk. Back in the day in upstate NY, interstates had zero lighting for many long stretches of highway. No criminal intent, no negligent action, no charges will be forthcoming.

slu72 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I'm sure Boeheim is sick over this. I read the NY Post article didn't indicate he'll be charged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basketbill Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 actually it said that the will be calculating the speed of the car. No tickets or charges filed currently. It is possible I suppose that he could have been going well over the speed limit.... so that remains to be determined.

I have read three articles. The ESPN article said his speed was “proper” per the Onondaga County District Attorney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hope all is cleared. Still if he killed someone, there may be civil charges brought by the family of the deceased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s mega rich a million dollar settlement won’t bother him. The question is if he can overcome this emotionally. I know it wasn’t his fault but taking a life, even if it was just a fluky accident, would mess me up big time. I think it would do serious mental damage to most.

Old guy Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I agree dlarry. However, there is a hell of a lot more to a law suit than the money you have to pay. Dealing with the lawyers and the ups and downs of the case, the constant need for new information and the need to be present for meetings in court with whoever, meetings that are cancelled or rescheduled constantly... THIS is a major drain. Add to that the emotional part of actually killing someone with your car with all its associated memories of gore, guilt, etc... Nope, he is not out of hot water, the water is not even very hot at this time, it will get a lot worse believe me there. I think that for most human beings law suits are very traumatic events, and I also agree the memories of actually killing someone makes the whole package a lot worse.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he steps down after the season. He has to be getting close to retiremnt anyway. This might be the blow that causes him to walk away.
