Big Trouble With Pirates

[Always Learning]

Their very good starting guard, Jalen Sima, quit per news reports of a racial riff with Whitehead.
The news reports also tell about Whitehead and his traveling entourage of 'five or six"
The Pirates have lost 8 of their last 12 after reaching the Top 25.

[bleedXblue]

This is a classic example of why some guys just aren't worth it. Whitehead is a cancer.

Who the hell is Jalen Sima? Do you mean Jaren Sina?

[Xavier]

You honestly didn't know that's what he meant?

This news is pretty old. It was public knowledge after the Gtown game on 7 Feb. I read it on other Xavier boards. The delusional Priders up north think he might go to UD. Not a chance in hell.

Jered Zima was marginal at best.

Sterling Gibbs just ejected in the Nova game. They're done.

What a dirty play it was too. If anyone hasn't seen it https://vine.co/v/OxA13uaIjnb
They are very done. It's a shame though, it was nice to see Seton Hall get on its feet again only to have a toxic locker room pull the rug right out.

[X-band '01]

It's going to be a while before Gibbs returns for Seton Hall (if at all).

Wow! Nothing subtle about that!

With moves like that, Gibbs could play for UC.

Escalate the hate!

[GoMuskies]

Gibbs is clearly racist, because surely he thought he was elbowing JP Macura. We don't all look alike, Sterling!

[Masterofreality]

That could call for a season ending suspension.

Ridiculously dirty.

Not racist. Reverse racist.

damnit i spit my drink lol

Well, Nancy only got a few games for sucker punching Kenny.

[X-band '01]

At least Gibbs didn't waste time apologizing to Ryan Archdiacono. That's more than I can say for the UC side.

He actually apologized directly to Archdiacano via twitter

[ArizonaXUGrad]

How do your "directly" do anything via twitter? If he was a man he would have done it on game day.

Couldn't tell you. I would wonder if it was best to avoid going over to the other locker room with the tension that loomed over that moment? Perhaps coaches wouldn't permit the players meeting? Either way, it was a fairly decent apology as far as Twitter goes (take it for what it's worth), and the Nova guy forgave him via the social media medium as well.

Yeah, pick up the phone and be a man.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Yeah, pick up the phone and be a man.

He may have.

Also if he didnt do it over twitter (in this day in age) and did it just over the phone we would have people on here and other places online complaining about how he didnt apologize.

Pretty shitty thing Gibbs to do though. Not sure he will play another game this season. At least regular season.

[XUMIOH12]

I think he might get suspended for a game or two. For some reason, when this kind of thing happens in college basketball, the suspensions don't seem to be too long.

I cant remember the last time I saw something like that though. Usually when this happens it is in the heat of a fight of some sort between the teams. This was out of nowhere, completely unprovoked and just out of frustration. Little different than the typical punches thrown in college basketball games.

Maybe when Dave Winfield and Corky Taylor clocked Luke Witte in the infamous Ohio State Minnesota brawl a number of years ago.

Had to look it up, looks like it happened in 1972, glad my memory wasnt failing me on that one (wasnt born yet) as it has been on other basketball things recently!

[Cheesehead]

for whatever it's worth and don't should the messenger, but Archdiacano via twitter, accepted Gibbs apology

[D-West & PO-Z]

Yeah that was classy of him to do.

Not sure his school/BE will be as forgiving.

[D-West & PO-Z]

I was wrong, 2 game suspension for Gibbs from SHU.

Not sure if the Big East will just let SHU handle that or if they think differently. I'm guessing they defer to SHU.

[paulxu]

If Nancy got 4 for the suckerpunch on Kenny, 2 seems about right. No blood.

Like it or not (and I personally do not) in the world college students live in today apologizing on Twitter is more than sufficient.

There was probably a day when people thought "How can you apologize directly over the phone? Be a man and go do it face to face."

[Milhouse]

You guys think these kids Call anyone? Seriously I'm sure the majority of our players only talk on the phone to their family relatives. If you're under 30 texting/twitter/etc is the main form of communication.

Sad? yeah. True? yeah.

[bleedXblue]

Considering he punched the kid in the face on national TV, I think it warrants more than a "tweet".

Say, didn't Gates call Kenny, or was that also a "tweet"?

From what I understand he sent him a text.

I'm hesitant to say this because it is purely hearsay, but the story I heard was that when it got into the news that it was possible charges were going to be filed, I thought Frease texted Gates to basically say he didn't want it to become a legal matter, and Gates texted back thanking him and then apologizing for what had happened.

My feeling is that it's Archdiacano that is owed the apology, and if he's fine with a Twitter apology, then it's fine.

The last time I remember something similar to this happening was when some guy from East Carolina punched a UTEP (I think) guy and got a 1 game suspension. Might have been 2 seasons ago.

[MuskiePimp23]

I was being sarcastic, but he absolutely butchered that name.
