While awaiting an anticipated announcement of a suspension, I found this video about his life -

I did not know much about him, but after watching this video.... he has had to deal with a lot and losing his mom is heart breaking. All of this has to take a toll on someone. I am glad he had something to focus on to get through the impossible emotions and dread he must of felt during that time. I wish him the best, especially getting past this ejection I witnessed this past Saturday.

I feel so badly for the young man. Tragic. He made a mistake the other day, but I am glad that Tony is his coach. I have no doubt that TS will walk him through this and Amari will come out better for it.

I don't know why everyone is expecting a suspension. Maybe it happens. But Amari already lost the majority of a game from the ejection. It's not like he was kicked out in the closing minute of a game and needs to serve some additional punishment (ala Skinn's nut punch). What lesson does he learn from missing a meaningless game against Bridgewater that he didn't already learn from watching his team struggle without him (already down Malik) against Loyola?

Maybe you're right. We'll see. Whichever way it goes, I trust Tony.

"The Patriots Morrison was charged with a double technical foul and ejected early in the second half at Old Dominion yesterday. He will miss Mason's next two games, both at home, against William & Mary on Tuesday per CAA rules and will serve the suspension against the College of Charleston in the ESPN Bracketbuster contest on Saturday."


"Coach Paul Hewitt said Thursday that Okoloji's actions were 'inexcusable and not what we expect from a George Mason student-athlete.'

Hewitt did not specify the length of the suspension but says it will include Sunday's game against Oklahoma in the BB&T Classic.

Okoloji was involved in the momentum-shifting sequence in the second half of Wednesday night's 68-66 loss. South Florida's Anthony Collins was tripped from behind by Okoloji near the foul line, then was stepped on by Okoloji as Okoloji's momentum took him down the court. Okoloji was whistled for both a personal and a technical foul."

Tough tough situation. I feel hard broken for the young man... so much pain and hardship to work thru in a family situation.

Are you suggesting that Amari should get a nut punch from Coach' Skinn??

Not sure if anyone tuned in and was going to call this out, so I will…

Amari Kelly subbed into tonight’s NBA Summer League game and got a bucket nearly instantly… grabbed a key offensive rebound with under 2 minutes left (Knicks were up by only 3 points on the winless Hawks at the time). A lot of great action off the ball, in the paint, and on the boards. Kelly and Kolek did not share the floor together

(He finished with 4 points, 5 rebounds in about 16 minutes of action)

MASON ON THE MAP!
