BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) – Indiana has confirmed that guards Armon Bassett and Jamarcus Ellis have been dismissed from the men’s basketball team.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Media relations director J.D. Campbell said Tuesday that the players missed an appointment, then didn’t show up to run laps as punishment.<o></o>
Each was suspended during the season for violating team rules. Bassett missed three games and Ellis missed the regular-season finale against Penn State.<o></o>
Bassett was a third-team All-Big Ten selection after scoring 11.4 points per game. Ellis averaged 6.8 points per game.<o></o>
The dismissals could mean Indiana would have no returning starters next season if freshman guard Eric Gordon turns pro. The team also will have a new coach to replace Kelvin Sampson, who resigned amid NCAA accusations of recruiting violations.<o></o>
With no returning starters, they'd better hire a coach that can pull in those junior-college transfers and one-year wonders....wait, that's what got them in trouble this year. Oh myyyyyyyyyyy!!!
