2010 Commit Tristan Thompson Kicked off Basketball team

Bumped. --PB--

Very unfortunate news ($). I hope this does not affect his commitment to Texas in anyway.

"He was kicked off the team for public insubordination," Coach Hurley told Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.

"That's the state of basketball. The kid came here as an unknown kid with potential and as an intelligent kid who is very likable. The problem in our sport now is that as kids get better and as their ranking rises, the people around these kids ruin them."

"After the incident last night, Coach Hurley felt that Tristan publicly disrespected him, and Tristan felt that Coach Hurley publicly disrespected him."

Russell reaffirmed Thompson's commitment to Texas, and said the junior prospect will finish the year at St. Benedict's and then find a new school for next year.

wow...

..very shocking. I hope he can learn from this, b/c I’m sure RB is going to be equally hard on him, and might “disrespect” him unintentionally. I hope this humbles him, and I hope this doesn’t affect Myck Kabongo’s committment.

Anyone know what was said by Thompson and the coach that caused this?

No idea

This is the only story I could find on it and its subscribers only.

Hopefully some more news comes out from this.

Not being on a team is not that big of a deal and one of our recruits Jordan Hamilton ( I think, may be Avery Bradely) is not on a team his senior year. There is so much other basketball out there. With AAU and such. The Problem is him being kicked off and having troubles with the coach

No word on what he said

My analysis of the situation is up in Morning Coffee with all the information I could glean from the interwebs.
