A lot of people have complained that Demetris doesn’t bring much offensively, and shouldn’t be starting. Well, it looks like Ronald Ramon will be starting for Pitt, by default:

Pitt senior guard Yuri Demetris has been suspended indefinitely for disciplinary reason, head basketball coach Jamie Dixon announced today.

“Effective immediately, Yuri Demetris is suspended from the team and will not play or participate in any team-related activities,” Dixon said in a prepared statement. “Discipline and proper behavior must remain the foundation of our program. Even though he is not formally with the team at this time, we will ensure that he receives the appropriate support from the university and athletic department.”

Dixon gave no further details of the suspension.

The P-G said there will be more in tomorrow’s paper. As I recall, last season Demetris nearly quit the team. Reportedly over a lack of playing time, but now I can’t help but wonder if it was something else, and whether this is related.
