“I’m embarrassed because of the situation,” he said. “It’s a situation that none of us should have gotten into. We embarrassed our campus, our university, both teams, and it’s just a situation that shouldn’t have happened. Looking back at it, it was just really stupid. I wish I could take it back.”
Self said he was stern and unyielding when he met with his team Wednesday night.
“We don’t act like this,” Self said. “To me, somebody asked me how did Tyshawn dislocate his thumb? My reply was: I don’t care. It doesn’t make any difference to me. The fact is that it happened. The reason it happened was because a really small group of individuals put selfish motives ahead of what was really important.”
Self and senior guard Sherron Collins came to Taylor’s defense.
“It’s not just Tyshawn,” Collins said. “It was a group of individuals from both sides that let egos and pride get involved in something that could have been resolved. We let something small become something big. We as a team, we accept this all together. Not everyone had something to do with it, but we are all together as a team.”
