Good old Austin O'Such. He should be in jail, but I guess getting suspended from his school and the team for the rest of the school year will do for now.

Sorry Rita, I can 't resist......

For sure this is not assault, which is the crime of causing someone to fear violence may be done to them. In this instance, one can make a case for battery, which is actual violence.

Good enough for me.

Just because it was done during a game shouldn't mean anything

It should mean getting kicked off the team at the very least, and possibly out of school depending on his other contributions to campus life, if any.

As stated in my post, he was kicked out of both for the rest of the year.

Steve,
He was kicked off the team, but not out of school. Yavapai did recommend that he leave school, because his personal safety was very much in question, and he did leave.

I was going by the article in The Daily Courier from 4/7/12:

"The YC player involved was immediately suspended by the college and will be suspended from play for the remainder of the season. The college has implemented this action and will continue to work with the Arizona Community College Athletic Conference (ACCAC) on current and future sanctions following conference procedures."

You may want to check your state laws. They aren't all the same. Where I come from, that's an assault. Battery doesn't exist in my neck of the woods.

It is amazing the things we can find to argue about on this forum.

I wish more people understood that.

In several states, assault in the threat, coupled with the ability, to cause bodily harm. Battery is causing bodily harm.

I don't think he's arguing so much as just stating. For the record, Minnesota considers either the threat or the act as assault, as well.
