Memphis basketball player charged with assault after sucker punch
[NY Post] Memphis women’s basketball star Jamirah Shutes has been charged with assault after appearing to punch a Bowling Green player in the handshake line Thursday night.
Can we please put to bed the tired old saw about "sports builds character?"
Bowling Green released a statement to Ohio CBS affiliate WTOL saying that Shutes has been criminally charged.
Shutes, a senior guard on Memphis, made second-team All-AAC this season.
In the handshake line after Bowling Green defeated Memphis 73-60 in the NIT’s Round of 16 on Thursday night, Shutes stopped to exchange words with Bowling Green guard Elissa Brett and appeared to throw a punch.
