West Ruled Ineligible

I don't have a link to qualify this, but Tony Basilio is reporting that Pearl has announced West to be acadmically ineligible. If you find a link, please include it in the comments. Once I get something to verify this in print, I'll link as well.

I understand he's appealing

Bruce doesn’t like the chances though.

Pretty much.

When the coach says the appeal is “up to the family”, then the cost/benefit is no longer in the interest of the athletic department. Considering the implications for the team’s depth at point, that’s a pretty telling statement.
