    Yancy's comments

    Yancy Gates said after practice today that he deserved to be suspended for the Pitt game, and that Mick Cronin was just doing what he thought was best for him and for the team.

    “It was a bad situation and I handled it wrong,” Gates said. “It was just a big misunderstanding gone bad, a situation made worse than what it was supposed to be, so you just deal with the consequences and try to move on.”

    The incident that led to his suspension occurred in practice last week when Gates flared up at an assistant coach.

    “I was caught up in the moment,” Gates said, “frustrated with a lot of things, but those are the type of things that you have to overcome being a basketball player. You can’t let them control your emotions. You just try to get through it.”

    Gates said he sent several text messages to Cronin on Sunday night, then met with him this morning for a little over an hour.

    “I was just basically trying to get it out, trying to get over it and move on,” Gates said. “Things like that, if you let them linger, they just don’t hurt you as an individual player, it hurts the whole group of guys. I don’t want to be the one known as a guy that hurt the team or anything.

    “I just wanted to be back around. I didn’t want to make a situation that was already petty even worse. I dealt with my consequences. I missed the Pittsburgh trip. I didn’t complain about it. I made a mistake. When you make a mistake you have to deal with the consequences, so I just dealt with it and he let me come back to practice this morning.”


    Stand up guy

    See...what needs to happen here is...the conference needs to be suspend him and in doing so they need to be very clear why.

    " We are disappointed with Yancy for being such a coward. His cheap shot on a player who was engaged with someone else at the time, with all due respect, was a bitch move. We are suspending him and hope that Yancy realizes that is not the proper way to fight if you want anyone to respect you. We certainly do not at this time."

    Seriously, draw attention to the crime of the sucker punch, and educate the nation.

    Cronin is being a puss about this whole thing also, saying he was begging the refs to take control and calm these kids down. Cronin had the chance at any time to sit his players on the bench and put the scrubs in.

    If he was kudos to him, but why bench your guys when your down and they still have there studs in? He at least reacted right in what he said after the game. Not condoning it. X and Chris Mack didn't. Letting players talk afterwards just down right dumb.

    UC came down with way swifter and extreme punish's thought minus the whole Gates issue. X and A10 just trying to save there season

    Back in 06 Roy Williams benched his starting 5 against Duke for running the mouth and acting cool. Said he didn't care if they lost by 5,000 points the subs was going to play it out. After the game he said "I despise cool," "I've never seen one frickin' person who was cool who I liked.".


    If you don't like how your players are acting send them a message and bench them if you think it's getting out of hand.
