Just saw this on ATH and read up on it.
 
 
 
Should this be alarming?  Should we not care about this?

I do, because he's gambling with my money!!!!!!!
 
I sent him up there to drop 2K on Villanova and the points, and he goes and blows it all on Craps?
 
That's very, very alarming to me and my bank statement.

Nothing to alarming... they should be allowed to have fun and enjoy the atmosphere in their free time.  It would have been more alarming if he had been found at the bar drinking

No rules violation, was in the hotel by curfew... no big deal

As long as he doesn't develop the Oscar De La Hoya or Charles Barkley complex, fine by me.
 
By the way, any of you f**kers in Detroit ever post a sports wager at Windsor?

I think the true alarming factor is he was playing craps!  CRAPS! 
 
Play some blackjack buddy.  Even roulette or ride the tide.  Hell, drop a few on PSU in the NIT.  Not craps Ty.
 
You think he's a passe kind of player?

It says he has gone to the casino 6 times this year... he won $250 in Detroit... $500 or more every time... accept one time he lost money (didn't say what his losings were)

If Lawson is out gambling... Just imagine what the UConn players must be up to

Hate to say it Drizz, but dropping 2K on Nova is blowing it.

Craps > Baccarat > Blackjack
 
I really dislike any games where you have to bet every hand.
 
Roulette is okay, i guess. Just not an exciting game. Like craps.

AJ Price is Jacking televisions, laptops and A/C cables at the local Auburn Hills Radio Shack. 

Hasheem Thabeet is telling Joe Dumars how much better he is then him, while picking his pocket.

Stanley Robinson is the getaway driver for AJ, Craig Austrie for Thabeet.

And Jerome Dyson, the Danny Ocean of the group, is using his protective cast to use, hiding magnets and card counting devices in the cast.  He'll knock down the casino in one night.

Then you would have Jim Calhoun saying "We may or may not have made mistakes.  For christ sakes the law manual is over 500 pages long, how do you expect these players to know every single law?!?!?  I mean come on haven't you ever stolen a little bit of money, or really wanted that new plasma and didn't have the funds so you took it?  I mean its a common mistake guys!"

After they find everybody guilty of their crimes, Calhoun would have just one phrase to say at the next days press conference.
