Gamblers like drug addicts have a character flaw. A flaw that both metamorphs and manifests itself over time in very negative ways. Will in seeking to increase or recover losses he shaves points from the game, intentionally lose and otherwise bring negative publicity to the program? why gamble on a gambler? Personally, I was unaware of his gambling until very recently. I now say, steer clear of him.

Probably says HIT ME when getting 2 jacks at the blackjack table.

Fox Sports Knoxville all over that issue this morning.
They are saying that many schools including UT won’t consider Norvell because of a rumored “gambling problem”.

I don’t see this as fair.
As long as he’s not gambling on college football, who cares if he’s at the blackjack tables in Tunica now and then.

Pete Rose and Art Schlichter approve

Pretty sure this whole gambling thing was just a rumor made up by either us or Ole Miss because he turned us both down.

Even the dumbest of the dumb on this forum can see the difference. Intentionally obtuse i suppose.

A blackjack table or any table in a casino would have zero chance of tempting a player of coach to throw a game or mess with the point spread.

I typed the above sentence super slow and with only my index fingers so the slowest on here could hopefully understand.

The rule applies to all athletes, football, tennis, baseball, golf, all women sports too, Mr, Know-it-All. Not just basketball players who could be in the tourney. Gambling shouldn't be allowed by any coaches. There are ways professional gamblers can get info on teams that can impact the integrity of the game especially if the coach gets complimentary rooms, meals and money to gamble.

My father was a psychiatrist:

He always told us kids, that the the words "Life and Fair don't belong in the same sentence"

Love the way you pass judgement on everybody who has ever plugged a quarter into a slot at Tunica or Vegas.

There has to be a deeper problem. Gambling, to me, seems to be an issue which an athletic department will consider, but at the same time could have some sort of control over and combat with counseling if needed. Its not something which I would believe would blacklist a quality candidate like UT quickly did to Norvell.
