It's a police matter
UConn coach Jim Calhoun said Friday that the suspension of two of his top guards wasn't "a legal matter."
Well, turns out it was.
Doug Wiggins and Jerome Dyson were ticketed _ for lack of a better word _ by UConn police for possession of alcohol by a minor when they were found in a car Thursday night in Storrs with two bottles of booze. Wiggins, who drove into the parking lot where cops approached them, was also issued a summons for operating with a suspended license.
They weren't arrested. So, in that sense, the coach was sort of telling the truth.
But they'll have to go to court (sort of like when you challenge a speeding ticket or get some kind of motor vehicle infraction) and probably pay a fine.
They're both 20 years old. Wiggins turned 20 on Saturday, so he technically got in hot water this time as a 19-year-old.
Neither is playing Monday against Louisville. The suspensions are indefinite but they'll definitely last until after the game.
More details in the morning paper.
As for now, I haven't slept in what seems like two days so........
