Marshall’s Justin Coleman suspended for using cell phone during game

Found January 03, 2012 on FanAttic Network:
PLAYERS: Justin Coleman
TEAMS:

Just when you think you’ve heard every wacky suspension story possible, a new one comes along that makes you think twice.

Marshall Thundering Herd baller Justin Coleman just couldn’t wait to snap off that urgent text– or whatever the hell he was doing– and has been suspended indefinitely by head coach Tom Herrion for a violation of team rules– using a cell phone during a game.

Wow.

Coleman, a highly-recruited and touted freshman from Huntington Prep in Huntington, West Virginia was seen using the phone during last Thursday’s loss to Belmont. The guard was averaging 6.2 points per game and 2.9 rebounds per game at the time of his suspension.

How in the world did Justin Coleman think that this was a good idea?

I know that Twitter’s addicting, but seriously, using the phone during the game. That’s either arrogant, ignorant, both, or something else that I can’t wrap my head around.

Congrats to Justin Coleman for creating a new category of suspensions for future generations to follow.
