Having said that, if allegation is true Yemi needs to have criminal charges brought against him. IMO

Sure seems to me this was swept under the rug until after the season. If this has anything at all to do with him leaving i am Very disappointed he continued to play.

couldnt agree more. Hopefully Pops is a little more respectful of women.

Hear he is a fighter, not a lover. :p

Don't think the facts should'be been discovered first? If you're gonna suspend every player that a female says he tried to have sex with me you'd have an issue...you'd have random females claiming Peyton Siva tried to have sex with them a week before the NC.

If he had been arrested then I agree with you, but he wasn't. Nothing likely comes of this, it's his word against hers, so basically you're saying kick him off the team for a claim a female is making with no evidence and something he wasn't even arrested for? Seems a bit extreme to me.

As I said if this had anything to do with why he is leaving then he shouldn't have kept playing. Simple as that

Can't have it both ways by claiming this was a reason Yemi was let go and then call it extreme. Which is it?

Agreed. Some people should think before speaking. There werent even charges, just an agreement to stay away from each other.

Meaning MAYBE he held her down and tried to have sex with her until she told him to stop and he did. She got freaked out and uncomfortable, but he didnt break any laws.

This is just one possible theory, and it doesn't mean it's actually true.

The guy you responded to was probably ready to burn Coach a few days ago for getting rid of Yemi and is now mad bc Yemi got to play after someone made allegations towards him but didnt press charges.

Maybe all the facts weren't known at the time?

When a player is in legal trouble its the coaches responsibility to get to the bottom of the issue before putting a kid on the court especially in sexual abuse cases. Maybe he did that and playing him was fine but if so that can't be a reason now to get rid of him.

What I'm saying is this...maybe this incident happens, is brought to CCM attention. He is informed there's no evidence and thus no arrest, so he allows Yemi to play. Shortly after the season is over this OP is placed and new evidence comes out that CCM feels is too much to keep Yemi around?

If there is an incident involving sexual abuse you better be 100per sure your player is innocent before playing him.

Maybe he thought he had gotten to the bottom of it? Was told the story, was informed no arrest was going to be made by law enforcement, what else is he supposed to do?

Then what, a month later an OP if placed on Yemi...so maybe new evidence was brought to CCMs attention?

Like I said, you can't just go suspending players for any and every allegation that has no evidence against them...you'd have a big time mess on your hands.

I would say being told no arrest was going to be made and that there was no evidence against his player probably led CCM to believe he was innocent.

Like I said, you can't make a habit out of suspending players over allegations that have no evidence supporting those allegations and that no arrest has been made.

On a side note...so Yemi was in court 2 weeks ago if I'm understanding correctly agreeing to this OP, and Knoxville media is just now breaking the news?
