December 21, 200619 yr Freshman Derrick Caracter has been suspended from the basketball team for a violation of team rules. Is this a sudden event or has this been brewing for a while?
December 21, 200619 yr He was suspended for last night's game... Are you referring to that one or has the suspension increased?
December 21, 200619 yr Author He was suspended for last night's game... Are you referring to that one or has the suspension increased? Todays local paper has it listed in the "AP Transactions" as him being suspended from the men's basketball team. It list no other details.
December 21, 200619 yr And freshman forward Derrick Caracter, who had to shed 55 pounds to play for U of L coach Rick Pitino, was suspended for the game for violating team policy.
December 21, 200619 yr I don't know anything about this guys. Does he have the makings of a potential troublemaker? Or is this just a freshman mistake?
December 21, 200619 yr Author I don't know anything about this guys. Does he have the makings of a potential troublemaker? Or is this just a freshman mistake? I would guess that he may be a problem. He missed the first three games of the season for an NCAA violation and now this. I hope he can keep things straight and do what is right so he can have a future not only as a player but as a person.
December 21, 200619 yr From everything I've heard, Pitino rides DC very hard. So hard that this may be his only season at Louisville, much like T-Williams from last year's team. On a side note, I've heard that Earl Clark may be looking elsewhere too...
December 22, 200619 yr I hope he can keep things straight and do what is right so he can have a future not only as a player but as a person. Good Post Cville! I agree, I hope that he get things straightened out whatever the problems may be.
December 22, 200619 yr Just an observation.. this thread was posted around 1:00pm, Imo if this had been on a U.K. player or Ohio State football player we would have had about three pages on it already.:sssh:
December 22, 200619 yr http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/16300962.htm University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino said Friday afternoon that he has sent freshman forward/center Derrick Caracter home and is not sure when he will return to the team, if at all.
December 22, 200619 yr Sounds like Caracter has some type of attitude/morale problems...Maybe he thought he was too good for the college game...Who knows...Hopefully he can get himself straightened out and back on the right track.
December 22, 200619 yr Also, a reminder that when you go for the top level recruits, a lot of times they come with attitudes and you might be just as well off to get the 2nd level instead of the top 10-20 type players.
December 22, 200619 yr Not a big suprise. Caracter has some attitude problems that he is going to have to figure out.
