Nevada basketball player
Interesting story:

http://cbs.sportsline.com/collegebas...story/10441608

A Nevada basketball player was at a campus party, was knocked unconsious and robbed...and then kicked off the team.

Yeah, I read that earlier. The player was instructed by the coach not to go to go out on the night the incident happen. I guess he took his chances and this is what happened.

It pays to listen to your elders!!

Kicked off the team for violating team rules. He was directed not to go to the party. The coach is showing he's tough on the rules, but I think it looks bad in a sense because the player is a victim and he's being kicked off the team. Maybe now victims will be afraid of retribution from employers, etc.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out. There's a chance some other members of the team were there, so will they get the same punishment? Also, some members of the football team were there, but they will not get kicked off the team because this was a rule specifically instituted by the basketball coach.

I noticed that too . I think this player my have had some additional rules infractions prior to the incident and this is why the coach took the position he did.

Nice job by the coach imo. He violated the rules and has to pay the price. If he listens and stays home he doesn't get the crap beat out of him at the party. Tough lesson for the kid, hopefully he learns from it.

Isn't the Nevada coach the same guy who went off on the officials last March, to the point where police were involved?

Beat me to it Junker....

There is a reason parents and coaches ask kids/players to do or not do things...it's unfortunate this young man had to learn the hard way.
