Landesberg suspended for season
A season that began with so much promise is ending with so much disappointment. Prior to its loss to rival Maryland on Saturday, University of Virginia and head coach Tony Bennett decided to suspend star forward Sylven Landesberg for the season.
Landesberg, who led the team in scoring with over 17 a game, is apparently considering going pro after a tumultuous first season under his new head coach that culminated with the suspension for skipping classes. NBA draft pundits consider him a probable second-round selection, which means no guaranteed money for the sophomore.
Landesberg and Bennett have clashed on multiple occasions this season, so it would come as a surprise to no one if he left the school. No one simply stops going to class altogether unless he doesn’t plan on sticking around. Don’t expect him back at UVa next season.
