Suspensions, like restaurant trysts, do not last long with Pitino....
Pitino said the suspension “will be a long time” and that Behanan’s sanctions are a culmination of a multiple “little things that when you add them up, they’re pretty big.”
“Under normal circumstances, you could see him before Christmas,” Pitino said. “But with Chane, it’s just been one week and he’s already violated” an arrangement by U of L’s staff to get him back on the court.
“It’s going to keep getting added to his indefinite suspension. That’s the only reason I say it. I don’t have a whole lot of confidence moving forward that he’s going to do the things we’ve asked him to do.”
Pitino guaranteed that Behanan will not play in November and could return in December, though he said that’s doubtful. The coach made it clear Thursday: “Chane Behanan is no longer a part of our basketball team.”
