No more Facebook
Don't expect any University at Buffalo basketball players with profiles on Facebook or MySpace anytime soon.
UB coach Reggie Witherspoon was clueless on how Facebook and MySpace works until last week when junior guard Andy Robinson solicted help for a reading assignement on his Facebook page. Robinson, who led the team in scoring last season, was suspended indefinitely.
Witherspoon held a meeting with his players and those who had either Facebook or MySpace pages had them removed.
"I didn't have to put in a policy, they all agreed to get rid of them," Witherspoon said. "They all thought the pages were private, but I was able to see all their profiles. Nothing's private on the Internet."
As for Robinson, Witherspoon said he's been contrite and has written a letter of apoligy to the entire UB student body.
"He understands that he's made a terrible mistake," Witherspoon said.
