I rather respect that he had a brilliant mind for the game of volleyball, but I thought that his teams rather underachieved given all the hype surrounding his teams. Didn't they only make 2 NCAA Tournaments in his 6 full years? I've paid attention to Wichita State, and their fans were elated that they were able to schedule Cal Poly in 2008. They were pleased that a highly ranked team would be facing them and hopefully boosting their strength of schedule. Of course it didn't turn out that way and they were pissed. What his teams did between 05 & 07 was huge. I think that 08 team was a let-down, can't remember if he still had Waller & Atherstone that year. Don't think he had the best recruits, but he re-loaded with Keddy & Graven in 09-10, but that fell apart with his obsessive behavior on/off the court. They peaked and flamed out. At least after a while, they were talked about as if they should make the regional final every other year and have a solid shot at the final four each year. I don't think they ever got anywhere near that. Again, I don't doubt that Stevenson was a tremendous teacher of volleyball skills. I don't know of anyone who doubts that. However, they never became a juggernaut and were never consistent.

FYI, Mike Dodd said in a Facebook post that suicide has been ruled out and it looks like an accidental death due to drug interactions. I'm not saying anything about this case in particular, but drug interactions aren't always accidental. 100% no need whatsoever for your post. I can't think of one reason to post what you posted unless you're trying to piss people off.

You guys obviously haven't learned the first rule of internet forums. If you want something to be ignored, then you have to ignore it yourself.
Do you in any way dispute that what I said was true? Not all drug interaction deaths are accidental.
I also specifically said that I was not trying to imply anything about this particular case. I have no access to information about it, and I don't really care either way.

Why would you reference a generality if you didn't want to "imply anything about this particular case?" There was no reason to say it. It's a specific thread about a specific situation. Can you really not see how your post is inappropriate in this thread since you have no inside information, you don't care either way, and you aren't trying to imply anything negative about the death?

Why did you bother to bring it up again two weeks later? If you thought the post was not appropriate, you should have just left it alone. All you have done is raise the issue that you claim should not be raised.
At the time I wrote it, I was simply reacting to the previous post. It wasn't clear whether the poster before me was saying that it had been determined the interaction was accidental or whether that poster was just assuming a drug interaction death was inherently accidental.
But I was willing to just let the subject drop. Apparently you were not.

It was inappropriate and useless (since, again, you have no inside information, you aren't trying to imply anything negative, and you don't care), and just as you wanted to educate that poster about drug interactions related to deaths, I suppose this is me "simply reacting" to your post.
