Alabama’s second-leading scorer has been removed from the men’s basketball team days before the Crimson Tide faces Hofstra in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, according to ESPN. “We’ve got standards in our program and we’ve got ways we’ve held our guy accountable and we try to keep things in-house, and some of the situations we can’t — and this is one of those,” Crimson Tide coach Nate Oats said on theon Monday evening.
“Situation’s a little different… I found out this morning. We had to suspend him pending the investigation. We’re certainly disappointed in his behavior.“We still love him, he’s still our guy, we’re helping him get the help he need. As far as our team goes… we’re preparing to play without him this weekend.” In a statement released Monday, the university said that it was “aware of the allegations” against Holloway and that he “has been removed from campus pending further investigation by the UA Office of Student Conduct.” Holloway was arrested Monday morning after agents from the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force conducted a search of a residence near the Tuscaloosa campus and found more than a pound of marijuana, paraphernalia and cash. The star basketball player will be charged with first-degree possession of marijuana-not for personal use and failure to affix a tax stamp.The charge of first-degree possession of marijuana-not for personal use is a Class C felony, and in Alabama, it can carry a sentence of up to 10 years in jail and a $15,000 fine.The seriousness of the situation facing Holloway is not lost on anyone, though it will have a significant impact on the basketball court for Alabama.He had 18 points for Alabama in the school’s SEC Tournament loss to Ole Miss., which is making its first appearance in the tournament since 2001 and earned an automatic bid after winning the CAA Tournament.Stream It Or Skip It: 'The Madison' On Paramount+, Where Michelle Pfeiffer Is A New York Woman Who Goes To Montana To Deal With Her Grief After A Tragedy
