Chane Behanan Suspended Indefinitely

[bear]

Violation of University policy. Pitino said it's "possible, but not probable" that he'll return to the team. Can't participate in any team activities. Big blow for Louisville, wow.

Jeff Borzello ‏@jeffborzello
RT @ericcrawford: Pitino says Behanan is no longer living in the team's dormitory.

 

[CardiacKemba]

Wow.

 

[caw]

If that stays, huge blow as they have inexperienced, questionable depth at the 5. Van Treese is now their main big backup (or a starter). Yeah from Dieng to Van Treese, ouch.

Edit: obviously I assume Harell will start at the four in this case.

Yeesh...

Jody Demling ‏@jdemling
Behanan is not living in the team's dorms right now. Still in school and has a plan to get back on the team.

Jody Demling ‏@jdemling
But Pitino said "in one week he's already violated that, so I really don't know."

 

[upstater]

Sounds like it's bad but outside of basketball.

Maybe Senore was right that a kid who decommits from another school is never to be trusted.

 

[ctchamps]

If this was UConn the details of the infraction would be scrolling on ESPN by now!

 

[Leebo]

Wow, that's huge.

Seems serious and Pitino seems pissed. He's already given this kid more than enough chances. Really hurts Louisville's front court depth.

If this was UCONN they would put the RUMOR of the infraction on the front page and then drag up an old article about laptops for color.

 

[tcf15]

Wow...this just keeps getting worse and worse for Louisville...

Jody Demling ‏@jdemling
The earliest Behanan can return is mid-December but Pitino "doubts" that he will be back by then.

 

[superjohn]

Behanen has already had a ton of chances, kid has issues.

 

[HuskyBballFan]

A guy claiming to be in the know on the Louisville board says it's drugs.

Purvis decommitted from someone before he signed with you guys? I thought you were the first choice, but maybe I'm misremembering.

 

[upstater]

If Behanan were at Syracuse, he'd be suspended for the next 12 hours.

Apparently, this is about drugs, likely marijuana.

The thing is, he violated university policy, not a drug test. And violating residential policy is much more serious than drug tests. He's had multiple violations. Most regular students would get suspended for a year. It's part of the university codebook at most universities not located in central NY.

dunlow thinks I am not aware that Senore made those comments about Purvis.

I asked him what he thought of Behanan (who also decommitted before going to Ville) and he said Chane was a swell kid.

They'd also bring up Rashad Anderson's hiding-in-the-bushes escapade too.

Boatright? Purvis? Cassell Jr.?

 

[upstater]

Boatright? Purvis? Cassell Jr.?

Cassell never decommitted.

Boatright did after Huggybear brought in Hinds.

 

[Scot-e]

They are a hot mess coming off their NC. Players leaving- getting suspended. I like Lville and I am going to be a huge fan when they get the the ACC- it just seems funky stuff happens after a NC and they are getting funkier by the minute.

He decommitted from Louisville

Boatright decommitted from both USC and West Virginia, regardless of the reason.

That was hilarious.

I'm not going to blame a pre-teen for his commitment.
