Coach Morrill does do the right thing

We try to be an informative as possible at PTW and also attempt to apply fairness to who and what is presented here.

Not too long ago in a post here, we didn't much like the jettisoning of Modou Niang from the USU roster vis-à-vis Anthony DiLoreto's remaining an Aggie.

Today, it was announced the Coach Morrill has also decided that DiLoreto's off the court decision-making has not been up to par while a member of the Utah State basketball team:

Utah State announced today that it has dismissed center Anthony DiLoreto from the program. DiLoreto, a freshman, redshirted this season. He already had strikes against him after pleading no contest to a bank robbery charge coming out of high school, and had been on suspension after an arrest in February for marijuana possession...
Go here for the remainder.

Not that he needs the following (or should care) but this was a necessary and appropriate move for Morrill and we applaud him for it.

As for Anthony DiLoreto, we bear no animosity (nor should anyone other than possibly the bank personnel involved) -- here's hoping he gets his personal life and decision-making  in order and prospers, first and foremost, as an individual. Basketball ranks as unimportant right now.
