Before addressing the press conference, I want to be clear about something right from the start. People deserve a second chance.
I often say that its okay to make a mistake, as long as you don’t make it again. However, some mistakes are so serious that the consequences need to be severe and a second chance shouldn’t be in the cards.
Domestic violence in my book is one such mistake. Any player guilty of domestic violence should have no place on the Illini basketball team. It should be that simple.
Now, the press conference.
