In case you didn't see Myron Medcalf's story, former Hopkins standout Royce White -- a huge piece of this year's freshman class for the Gophers men's basketball team -- was arrested for shoplifting. Here's a snippet from Myron:
Royce White, last year's Mr. Basketball and Minnesota's top freshman this season, was arrested by Bloomington police officers Oct. 13 on charges of shoplifting and fifth-degree assault at Macy's in the Mall of America. Gophers coach Tubby Smith said today that he suspended White indefinitely for an unspecified violation of team rules, but did not elaborate on the reasons for the disciplinary action. A Macy's security officer confronted White, who was with three other males, and tried to handcuff the 6-foot-8, 240-pound power forward, who allegedly stole $100 worth of merchandise. According to a police report, White pushed the security guard "down to the ground two times." Bloomington officers eventually arrived and arrested White, who was released with a citation.
He's been suspended indefinitely, as the story notes. White was also previously dismissed from DeLaSalle High before joining Hopkins for his senior season. What, in your mind, is the proper punishment for this offense?
