RE: Butler slams UC after picking OSU

[Dan Marshall]

I agree 100%, the comment was "unprofessional" and "poorly coached".

Somebody tell him he has a better chance of getting a degree there because there is no chance he'll go to the NBA early from there... but that would be the only reason.

Whether or not Jamar is a good kid, or whether or not
he's a villian, his saying what he did was a no-class,
bush-league, punk thing to do.

I certainly hope he learns the better from it, but
obviously, I'm not too happy with Jamar right now,
regardless of UC getting Banks.
