Slama (But No Phi Or Jama)

How many coaches in NCAA hoops would have suspended four of his top players (one for the rest of the season) after they engaged in (possibly) criminal thuggery and definite violation of team rules?

Not many. The episode is a black eye for UH, but Ray McCallum handled the situation well. The suspensions will probably keep surging UH (long removed from its Phi Slama Jama years) from winning any more games and possibly gaining its first postseason birth in a LONG time. That's why McCallum's decision is even more commendable.
