West Virginia’s Devin Ebanks was back with the team for Tuesday nights game, but did not play. West Virginia’s head coach, Bob Huggins, has now held his star sophomore out of the Mountaineers first two games for what he has referred to as, “personal issues.”
“I understand you all have a job to do,” Huggins said. “You also have to understand that if it was your kid, you don’t want your kid’s business all over the newspaper, radio and TV because it isn’t anybody’s business. My responsibility is to those kids.”
On Saturday Jonathan Givony from DraftExpress posted the following reason for Ebanks’ absense on his Twitter page…
“Was told that Devin Ebanks’ suspension at West Virginia was marijuana related. Supposedly failed second drug test. No comment from WVU SID.”
As I posted on Saturday, This incident will not be forgotten by NBA general managers come June. The longer West Virginia coach Bob Huggins decides to hold Ebanks out of the lineup, the more his stock will continue to drop.
