UI’s Watson Suspended For Tweets

Twice after recent losses Watson wrote critical Twitter posts apparently directed toward coach Don Verlin. Last weekend, the senior guard asked how the team was supposed to win with “this guy coachin us.” A week earlier, Watson expressed similar frustration. “Wow just don’t gett this guys mind set, it’s like some times he don’t wanna win that bad!!” Watson, a junior-college transfer from Las Vegas and the Vandals’ second leading scorer, banked in a 60-foot shot at the halftime buzzer Thursday night in Idaho’s win over San Jose State, garnering attention from ESPN’s SportsCenter. After the game, Verlin told The Spokesman-Review that he wasn’t aware of Watson’s Twitter account and would not comment until he sees it. In the release sent Friday, Verlin did not specify that Watson’s suspension came because of the Twitter posts. But Watson confirmed the reason with afternoon updates to his feed on the social media site/ Josh Wright , SR. More here .

Question: Should Coach Don Verlin allow Kashif Watson back on the team to play in the WAC tournament next week?
