Memphis women’s basketball star Jamirah Shutes has been charged with assault after appearing to punch a Bowling Green player in a handshake line following a game between the teams Thursday night.
Bowling Green released a statement to Ohio CBS affiliate WTOL saying that Shutes, a senior guard who made second-team All-AAC this season, has been criminally charged.
In the handshake line after the Falcons defeated Memphis 73-60 in the NIT’s Round of 16 on Thursday night in Bowling Green, Ohio, Shutes stopped to exchange words with Bowling Green guard Elissa Brett and appeared to throw a punch.
“Following Thursday’s unwarranted physical incident after the WNIT home game, the Bowling Green State University Police Department has charged a member of the Memphis Women’s Basketball team with assault,” the university’s statement said.
“Additionally, BGSU Athletics is conducting its own review. Violence is never acceptable and our priority remains the health, safety and support of our student-athlete, who is recovering and doing well.
Couldn’t take being beat by a white girl in the court so took a cheap shot, if she wasn’t black she’d be banned from the NCAA
Several charges incould think of…..Assault, premeditated, endangering others, discrimination, racism.
Make this a future deterrent due to stupidity with the removal from school AND all scholarship privileges.
