No, you aren't interpreting it correctly. Pretty sure the idea is that Juwan/staff could have had concerns about his character, and now this incident would prove that out, if true.
Both of you have missed the point entirely. It was a different era, and people did handle things much differently. Abuse of children at home was commonly ignored by teachers/schools/neighbors because that wasn't something people involved themselves in. I would suspect we can all agree abusing kids is bad, and that these days it's reported swiftly and dealt with. Prior to the late '90s into 2000, it was not. Saying those things doesn't make it an excuse for the behavior - it's a reality. I spent 8 years in the Marines, and the behavior they allowed of senior NCOs when they were younger, they no longer allowed in us. Saying that isn't an excuse for their behavior, it's a reality. You can see the difference, right? Both of those instances, yes, right and wrong still existed, but HOW people dealt with the wrong behavior HAS changed.
Except this is how it started at OSU as a part of the culture change they made, grew, and continue all toward beating Michigan. They now dominate the rivalry, and yet it remains every day, in your face part of their culture. That's what's needed at Michigan.
So scoring 52 points against OU and not winning is the fault of the OC? Averaging 45 points a game, and number 4 in the nation is bad now also? Had Michigan averaged 45 a game, they would be in the playoff.

This is why Penn State has the #1 rated class so far, all the winning they did last year.

What would be ok with you as a starting point? Just more talk?
