Two players kicked off Wichita State team

Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - Junior reserve Jared Young and walk-on Gabe Barnes have been kicked off the Wichita State basketball team for violating team rules, coach Mark Turgeon announced Monday.

Young and Barnes had been suspended before Sunday's win over Missouri State. Turgeon said Monday the players had been suspended for different reasons.

The suspension was the second for Young, who was pulled from two games earlier this season after a disagreement with Turgeon about playing time.

Young, a transfer from Pratt Community College, has played in 16 games this season, starting one. He has averaged 4.3 points and 3.7 rebounds. Barnes has played in four games this season, averaging 1.0 points and 0.3 rebounds.

"Both Jared and Gabe are fine young men, and I wish them both the best in their future endeavors," Turgeon said in a statement.

Is anyone else surprised that they actually used the term "kicked off" on an AP story??

Sorry, that was a random observation.

I think it's funny that he suspended them and then said they are fine young men. If they were really that 'fine' couldnt' they have come to terms with their disagreements about PT??

Fine young men...apparently just not fine enough for WSU basketball.

Eh, PR and all. According to sources on Valley talk, Young dropped an F-Bomb on the Turg. Probably didn't go over too well.
