Mississippi State freshman Tweets, gets dismissed - CBSSports.com
Rick Stansbury dismissed D.J. Gardner from the Mississippi State basketball team on Friday. The development came a day after Stansbury announced the heralded freshman would redshirt, and less than 15 hours after Gardner publicly expressed his displeasure with the coaching staff via Twitter.

"These b***es tried to f*** me over," Gardner Tweeted late Thursday, according to a screen shot grabbed by the Clarion-Ledger's Brandon Marcello. "That’s y I red shirted .. But I wish my homies a great as* season.. I don’t even know y I’m still here"

Gardner is an in-state product who averaged 32 points and 10 rebounds as a high school senior.

He chose Mississippi State over Memphis.

He dismissed this dude for a tweet but didn't Renaldo Sidney have multiple offences with teammates? Yet he is still playing.

You don't think this part would make any coach react? I sure wouldn't tolerate this from a player:

According to ESPN, the kid was told he wouldn't be redshirted and would be part of a 3 gaurd rotation.

This doesn't excuse his reaction, but Stansbury also shouldn't straight up lie to a kid and his mother during his recruitment. I'd be pissed off as well. Just my opinion.

Might be why he's not part of that 3-guard rotation.

Coaches can honestly tell recruits what their plan is for a player, but if the player doesn't measure up to expectations, either in their sport or their behavior, that plan can always change. That's not lying to a recruit, IMO. That's the way the world works.

.....I think Stansbury is using all of his "cool points" just keeping Sidney on the team.

I'm sure this wasn't the only incident. He was probably already on thin ice and this cinched it.

Meh, doing this on twitter though's like having a job and writing something insulting about your boss on facebook. Eventually he finds out (often after someone brings his attention to it) and - usually - you get fired


Pretty stupid for a person (as him) using such a public service not to realize that nowadays

I never said he shouldn't have kicked him off for that. He definitely should have. I'm just saying why kick him but keep Sidney? Sidney was far worse.

18 yr old kids do stuff like this.

He didn't want to get redshirted and they redshirted him anyways, I don't know what was said when he was recruited. I doubt he wouldn't have signed with them had they told them there was a good chance he would be redshirted. Maybe he's p.o. for a reason.

I would have suspended him for some games, I don't think I would have kicked him off. He's needs to grow up a little that's all. Probably other reasons for kicking him off then this.

Is the other reason drinking? That's the only time I've ever acted like that. And yes, I've been drunk while posting many times.

"He didn't want to get redshirted and they redshirted him anyways, I don't know what was said when he was recruited." -- Who cares what he wants? He's some little piss ant that clearly believes he's bigger than the program. As someone else mentioned, plans change. Maybe they had every intention of giving him significant playing time until they saw the immature d'bag suck donkey balls against college competition.

Would he be any happier if they didn't play him at all while wasting a year of his eligibility? He was still going to be pissed if he didn't get to play. You can't fault a coach for telling a kid they'll play their first year if the coach truly believes that, then not play them because the kid underachieves when he arrives on campus. Should the coach put him out there and throw games just to satisfy some brat that publicly insults the coaches when he doesn't get his way? Afterall, he doesn't know why he's even there. The coaches did him a favor according to him.

Maybe the coaches lied to him and planned on redshirting him all along. Or maybe, he just wasn't as ready as they thought he'd be. That seems to be more plausible imo. Lying to kids is bad business and I'm sure word gets around. Look at little loud mouth trashing his coaches publicly on twitter. There is no way his b****ing ends there. You know he's whining to other people, including other recruits.

Saw this response on a CBS forum as many where arguing over freedom of speech...... He excercised his Freedom of Speech, and the coach excercised his Freedom of Authority. Just because you "can" say anything you want doesn't mean there aren't reprocussions. This is a fool who apparently felt entitled.

Someone always has bigger britches...
