If he did what he did for that reason, I say "right on"... Defending a women? You can make him sit a game, but he wont be off the team...
good for him. I'm actually proud of him for doing it. I hope he doesn't have to sit but maybe one half. I've been trying to find info on this all day.
Oh, chivalry. If the story proves out that he was indeed aiding a female friend, fending off some reprobate, hats off to the young man and his raisin'. Any way it goes, he's gonna get some "counseling" from the coaches. Hope it works out for the young man. He's had enough bad luck.
