Solid start for Pittman so far. Let's hope this thread stays basketball updates and no off the court issues. If he continues to produce like this, he could make a lot of money playing basketball one day. Needs to get his degree first, however.

What exactly did he do?

What exactly did he do?

 

He elbowed a WKU player in the throat as they were running back down the court.

“I thought he should’ve been ejected. There’s no place in college basketball for that,” WKU coach Ray Harper said. “He’s lucky that kid (Dickerson) didn’t get really hurt.

 

 

“I don’t know about (Marshall being behind) the eight-ball (after that point), but that was bad.”

 

 

Pittman entered the game averaging 29.4 points per game, the fifth-highest average in Divison I college basketball. He finished with three points in five minutes Tuesday.

 

 

“I haven’t seen it,” Marshall coach Tom Herrion said. “I’ll look at it and deal with it, so there’ll be no comment on his situation until I get an idea of what’s going on.”

Is this for something new? If so it's hard to believe his college career isn't coming to an end.

[Wireman]

This is something new and the release didn't specify the reason.

I'm sure he will start to really figure it out about the time a judge is sentencing him to prison. That's exactly where he will wind up at some point down the road if he continues down the same path he's currently on.
