Title: Truth about the De La Rosa brothers...
Post by: ayon25 on April 24, 2015, 09:29:21 AM
From what I heard they were kicked off the team for jumping Obekpa in the shower. No joke. Maybe someone else can confirm this, but apparently he had to get a bunch of stitches.

When did this happen?

Did Obekpa then have to smoke the weed for medical purposes ? LOL

In all seriousness though, totally messed up.  Good riddance.

It definitely wasn't a joke, the guy ended up with like 25 stitches or something like that.

Haha that picture is hilarious. Obviously took 2 of them to even have a chance and had to catch him in the shower. Luckily, he was warned right before it happened so he wasn't completely blindsided.

Luckily he was warned right before yet he received 25 stitches. Did they come at him with box cutters? IDK something that sever would be difficult to keep under wraps. This is difficult to believe. Joey graduated and Adonis isn't qualified, maybe that is why they are no longer on the team.

It wasn't a team shower type of situation. They just came for Obekpa when he was in the shower.

Like I said before, I find it crazy that they would do this, especially in the shower. This is not prison.

Beecher toughened up the last few seasons.

This is crazy. Fighting a naked guy is off limits no matter where you grow up.  The two v. one is troubling as well. If he was warned wtf was he still in the shower?

From what I understand, One of the other guy's (don't want to name) on the team yelled at Obekpa that they are coming right before it happened. So I think he just had a few seconds to get himself ready.

Post by: desco80 on April 24, 2015, 12:31:14 PM
A couple of thoughts, assuming this is true...

I don't doubt that Obekpa is a bit of a douche bag.   And I can see how guys would get into it with him during practice if you have to play with him every day.
But that's different from jumping a guy in the lockerroom.   That's not acceptable anywhere, in fact, it's criminal.

If a guy annoys you in practice, you spike the ball at him, push and shove ... your teammates break you up, and then life goes on.  This has been happening in basketball for 100 years probably, and that's how you handle it.

What's really sad is that both of them had to double team him when each one of them have an easy 50 pounds on OBekpa. No class IMO.

Lavin's not evil, dumb to misconstrue my post to mean that.  But he has brought in some low-character guys (Delarosa's if true, CO with the selfish move getting suspended before the tournament).  Sad to say I think we could all live with it if they were really successful but they weren't.

No, not really to be honest.

He was a good guy. Not much to say otherwise. Had the best resume since Louie as well. So, not a bad coach either.

He's gone now...no need for us to insult him further.  This day and age there are so many tools for players to sound off to kick a coach after he is fired.  It happens all the time...subtle jabs.  To a man, each player spoke glowingly about Lavin.  Harrison said he owed his life to him. 

He was a very good recruiter and an okay coach.  We danced twice in five years--once with a team that won only 7 conference games the year before with 10 juniors and fifth year senior (and highest ranked Norm recruit). 

If Lavin didn't take the batton and bring us from the lowest of lows to where we are now, Mulllin wouldn't be here.  Let's just appreciate him for that and let the ill feelings go.  He was a very defeated man when he left here and the guy battled freaking cancer.  Give him a break.

Geez, a little perspective maybe?
It's ridiculous to blame him for the Delarosa's fighting with obekpa, but let's be real, Lavin was pretty bad. 

He's gone now...no need for us to insult him further.  This day and age there are so many tools for players to sound off to kick a coach after he is fired.  It happens all the time...subtle jabs.  To a man, each player spoke glowingly about Lavin.  Harrison said he owed his life to him. 

He was a very good recruiter and an okay coach.  We danced twice in five years--once with a team that won only 7 conference games the year before with 10 juniors and fifth year senior (and highest ranked Norm recruit). 

If Lavin didn't take the batton and bring us from the lowest of lows to where we are now, Mulllin wouldn't be here.  Let's just appreciate him for that and let the ill feelings go.  He was a very defeated man when he left here and the guy battled freaking cancer.  Give him a break.

couldn't have said it better myself.  +100.

Another indictment of Steve Lavin, after the fact.  Guy was absolutely clueless, still cannot comprehend people wanted to keep him.  Even if this isn't true, he brought in two guys who are complete nonfactors as players.

Holy crap, I can't believe the stupidity of some people who make it sound like Lavin was this terrible coach and person.

I know, right?
He was such a good guy, and a great coach to boot.

I wanted Lavin to succeed but his act grew old, never accountable always making excuses for his shortcomings. He had behavioral issues, recruiting issues and coaching issues. He never said it is on me, I am accountable for the teams state of affairs. I'm glad the school saw all this and made a change. He left the cupboard empty and the staff has done more in three weeks then I thought possible. The best thing is they have back up plans in place. Lavin never did and that was why he was always taking on academic risks in the spring and summer.

 Golf clap.  Well said.  If you are still killing Lavin at this point , it says more about you than him.

I am astonished they were not arrested if this was as bad as being told.

In today's "sue first ask questions later", seems like school would be open to major liability if this attack was that bad.

True
But if the victim maybe egged it on and said or did things that led to it then that would explain the lack of lawsuit or anything.

like gesturing for delarosa to go to the other court like he was told. As Warner Wolf would say let's go to the videotape since the on court part of it was on film :)

Obekpa could have said basically anything to him and he'd still be found guilty of assault/battery if the Delarosas took it to the physical level.  At least that's the little I remember from crim law class.  Could be totally wrong though ha ha.

I'm not a lawyer and would never pretend to be. 
I don't have any specifics besides what has been posted on why it escalated to physical but there are certain things that could have been said that are more than your run of the mill insults.

They are gone.
We have Chris for one more year.  Hope he keeps it quiet this year.

It's likely Obekpa didn't want to press charges or involve the police at all.  It's bad enough getting beat up naked in the shower...I can't imagine a college kid wanting to further tarnish his rep by going to the police.  Snitches get snitches, and he already got 25 without snitching.
