[QUOTE="Illiini, post: 1279854, member: 625513"] Well, conspiracy theories [I]are[/I] fun. That said, Lovie did already have to deal with one discipline event where he sent two players to the locker room. That wasn't enough, apparently, to prevent this display of un-teamlike behavior. So I doubt Lovie set this up--though Brooks did make his team lose on purpose as a team-building exercise--but I have no doubt (or at least I hope) Lovie is good enough of a coach to treat is as a learning experience. The kids aren't stupid, but sometimes you have to let them know who's in charge, and you have to make sure that they know they have to be a team instead of, as the Olympic hockey team was, a bunch of talented individuals. And they had to learn to be a team. So do the Illini. Get over yourself. [Insert more team philosophy here.] I don't think that's reading too much into it. [/QUOTE]
