Louisville suspends F Caracter indefinitely
The Louisville Cardinals, who were already very thin on their front line, have suspended starting forward Derrick Caracter for a curfew violation.
This isn’t the first time Caracter has been in trouble for violating Cardinals team rules. Head coach Rick Pitino actually sent Caracter home last season after a couple of disagreements with the player.
To continue playing with the team, Caracter agreed to sign a contract with some prescribed rules he must follow, including a curfew. Pitino indicated that Caracter broke curfew that same night.
What is sad is that Caracter has betrayed the trust of his teammates, who came to bat for him and persuaded Pitino to let him play against Dayton. Now, that trust is gone, and I believe Caracter should be gone from Louisville as well. It is clear he doesn’t respect Pitino nor his team rules, and now he has betrayed his teammates.
Losing Caracter’s 13.4 points and 7.4 rebounds a game will definitely hurt the Cardinals, but keeping him on the team would hurt them even more.
