University of Louisville has dismissed PG Chris Jones for the basketball team just days after reinstating him from his suspension. This dismissal came with out any comment but in the previous suspension Head Coach Pitino describe it as a “campus incident”. Pitino said in post game conference during Jones suspension that the team missed Jones a lot and implied that the suspension was not his decision but he supported it.
We missed him a lot but, you know, it’s his selfishness that hurt the team. I’m not one that believes in suspensions, game suspensions. I believe in punishment where you get up in the morning and lift weights and curfew at night, but this was not a decision by me.
This was a decision – it’s all cleared up – he could play the next game if he does what the assistant coaches tell him to do. If he doesn’t he sits again. And I don’t care if he sits the whole season, to tell you the truth. I could care less. Because if he doesn’t do the right things and act like a Louisville man, he can move on and try to go to Belgium somewhere.
