UW Suspends Player For Tournament

Item: UW basketball player Venoy Overton charged with furnishing alcohol to minor /Jennifer Sullivan, Seattle Times

More Info: The charge stems from a Jan. 8 incident when Overton allegedly met up with two 16-year-old girls and took them to his sister’s apartment in South Seattle. A Seattle police report says Overton, 22, furnished the girls with alcohol and had sex with both. One of the girls later told police that she felt like she had to have sex with Overton because of who he was. The King County Prosecutor’s Office decided against filing a charge in connection with the allegation because of questions about the girl’s account and conflicting witness statements, according to a court document.

Question: Did UW coach Lorenzo Romar one-up WSU coach Ken Bone by suspending his sixth man Venoy Overton for the Pac-10 tournament for this incident while Bone is allowing Klay Thompson to play after his one-game suspension for his drug arrest?
