Message: [QUOTE="tcf15, post: 2066361, member: 208"] Posted this back on Feb. 5: [INDENT]On January 12, Tevin Mack was suspended due to a violation of team rules. He hasn't played since and has missed the last 7 games (plus one more at the start of the season from suspension due to violation of team rules). Doesn't sound like he's coming back anytime soon, either. Dodged a bullet with this one? [URL='http://hookemheadlines.com/2017/01/24/tevin-mack-still-suspended/']Tevin Mack Not Returning to Texas Basketball Anytime Soon[/URL] [INDENT][I]Coach Smart was asked if the team is better off without Mack as they [URL='http://hookemheadlines.com/2017/01/12/shaka-smart-rebuilding-texas-basketball/']try to rebuild[/URL] in a positive manner. Smart thought over the question, then chose his words carefully. “It’s my job as the head coach to always do the right thing for our program and for the guys within our program. The guys that we have out there playing – that’s who we need to have in the game,” Smart said. “Tevin is a very talented player. He’s got a lot going for him, but right now the guys that are wearing a Texas uniform are the guys that need to be wearing a Texas uniform.”[/I][/INDENT] [URL='https://www.hookem.com/story/halfway-home-whats-working-whats-not-texas-men-hit-midpoint-big-12-play/']Halfway home: What's working, what's not as Texas men hit midpoint of Big 12 play | Hookem.com[/URL] [B][I]WHAT’S NOT WORKING?[/I][/B] [I][/I] [INDENT][I][B]1. Locker room chemistry:[/B] Smart has never indicated why sophomore forward Tevin Mack was suspended indefinitely, only saying it was an undisclosed violation of team rules. Those inside the program say Mack has not been officially told he cannot come back, but at this point, it doesn’t appear he will. Smart may have been sending a coded message when he said his job is to worry about “everyone in the locker room.” The vibe has been different, and UT’s play improved in the last six games, even though the team has gone 2-4. This team is far too young and inexperienced to be dealing with locker room disruption.[/I][/INDENT][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
