WVU Release Statement from Shane Lyons

[Keenan Cummings]

Statement from West Virginia University Director of Athletics Shane Lyons following the Big 12 Conference announcement today:

“I want to thank the Big 12 Conference and Texas Tech for the positive and open dialogue all three parties engaged in during the last two days. As I said before, this situation involved court security, player safety and postgame emotions and all three had to be taken into account. We will revisit with our student-athletes to again reinforce our expectations regarding sportsmanship issues across all sports. The Big 12 has issued its reprimand. We accept it, and I consider the matter closed.”

I watched the video a number of times, I just don't think Harris made much contact, if any contact at all. If he did, the student didn't act phased at all. This is one of those things where they've done all they need to do. I hope Huggs doesn't feel the need to do any more than not start him for a game or something like that.
