Tue, 07 Dec 2010 06:58:38 +0000http://rushthecourt.net/?p=28610#comment-122569The suspension works out to a semester, during which Pinkston will have to enter an early intervention program and do some community service in Delaware County. While the decision is consistent with earlier fight-related suspensions (any student, not just athletes) where an assault charge was filed, the decision takes Pinkston out of class and out of contact with the basketball program, points of concern when trying to reach out and keep a player involved (and directed). Pinkston will have to enter an early intervention program and work with Delaware County authorities (where the charges were filed), but to this point his logistics (whether he will live in Pennsylvania or with his family in New York City, whether he will continue his studies at another local school, work, etc), post the fall semester (he is due to finish classes within the next week), are undisclosed.
Pinkston and those closest to him have indicated he intends to re-enter Villanova next June and continue from there, but sometimes the conclusion does not follow intent. Hope the young man works through this and gets himself back on track.
