Boylen Admired for Suspension Stance
Coach Jim Boylen has received at least one public endorsement for his suspension of point guard Luka Drca, reflecting a sentiment that his staff said has resulted in a handful of calls and e-mails from Oklahoma supporting his decision.
Boylen "deserves an attaboy for standing up" against boorish behavior, a wrtier from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram wrote today in a piece detailing the cheap shots that Oklahoma's Blake Griffin has had to endure this season.
Drca was suspended for flagrantly tripping the star forward during a game last weekend.
Utah's director of basketball operations, Jonathan Dykema, said he and Boylen have received several phone calls and e-mails from OU fans and others applauding the coach for his stance on the incident. Drca will not play for the Utes when they play host to Weber State on Saturday, or when they visit Utah State on Monday.

So, did the coach from Cal suspend #23 for shoving Carlon Brown in the back?
Why can't we suspend Boylen for throwing the possession arrow at Utah State or for screaming at the time clock official in Logan. Some example he is, wonder where his team gets its mentality. Oh wait, when you have Al Bundy coaching your team, mentality has nothing to do with it. FIRE BOYLEN!
