Louisville head coach Rick Pitino called a press conference todau and announced
that sophomore Derrick Caracter has been suspended indefinitely.
He has appearently had issues before, as Pitino said this:
"Derrick Caracter has once again been suspended indefinitely - by the team," Pitino said. "From the summer to now, he's been under dormitory arrest. Then he slipped up again and I wasn't going to play him against Dayton but the team asked me to play him."
"We made him sign a contract and he broke it twice the first night after he signed it," Pitino added. "So I had no choice but to suspend him."
"Pitino said that Caracter had a 9 o'clock curfew Saturday night after Louisville's loss to Dayton. Caracter broke the curfew twice Saturday night, arriving back at Minardi Hall at 10 p.m., then after being confronted by coaches for breaking curfew, Caracter again left the players dormitory at 10:40.
"He's got to learn to make the right choices in life," Pitino said."
Here are some other comments from prior threads about Caracter, who is apparently no stranger to rules violations.
ps--- a lot of speculation that since Louisville is very shorthanded due to injuries and other player losses, that Caracter's suspension probably won't be for long, and look for him to be back before the conference season starts.
