One college basketball player may just need to stay off of Twitter.
A few days ago, Arizona State forward Marcus Bagley said he fell out of the team’s rotation for disciplinary reasons. He would take to Twitter and address the matter and what he did that made that decision come down.
“I usually don’t address locker room situations to media but for some reason people aren’t being transparent,” Bagley tweeted. “To my fans & friends that are concerned, the reason I’m not playing has NOTHING to do with basketball or my ability.
“After my last game I played vs. NAU, out of frustration I made a mistake and said some things to Coach Hurley that I shouldn’t have said. Me not playing is 100% punishment for what I said that day. Again I am 100% healthy, & eager to play.”
It seemed like the right thing to where he took accountability for his actions, but the team did not see it that way.
On Tuesday, Bagley took to Twitter and agian and stated he got suspended for the tweet he sent out.
“I was just suspended for this tweet,” he wrote. “For Admitting I made a mistake.”
The Arizona State Sun Devils have come out the gates strong behind a 6-1 mark and a Legends Classic tournament victory over the course of the first month of play.
Arizona State basketball coach Bob Hurley recently came out and admitted “there’s just no minutes” for Bagley at the moment.
Through the first seven games of the season, forward Marcus Bagley has suited up for just two, averaging 12.5 points, four rebounds and 1.5 assists over 28.5 minutes per game.
