I do know the whole story, and the getting yelled at and getting his sensitive feelings/ego poked at the wrong time had a lot to do with it-that scene was a big spark that blew up the perverbial powder keg. His reasoning included some very mis-shapen and distorted veiws on the coaching staff and his fellow players...He will not be back at least this year and I am firmly on the coaching staffs side on this predicament...I also think Pikeville will be fine and even maybe better off.

Come on! You and I both know he was a top player on the team. Pikeville will not be better off without him. Now, if he disrupts the chemistry on the team, maybe your better off not playing him until everything is worked out. He had just scored 16 pts., had 7 assist, and was the 2nd best if not the best defensive player on the team. The same was said about Harmon when he decided not to play. The point is, that Pikeville has lost two of their starters and best players this year. Pikeville would be much better with those two in the starting lineup. How can anyone argue that!
