Taking time for a reminder
Walking into the locker room for a pre-practice meeting the other day, coach Ray Giacoletti carried with him a single sheet of paper.
On it?
A major-league lesson for his players.
Giacoletti had printed out a copy of a news article detailing the arrest last weekend of two Gonzaga players for allegedly possessing marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms. Josh Heytvelt and Theo Davis have been suspended from the Bulldogs, and Davis - a native Canadian - could be facing immigration issues. Police said Heytvelt was possessing enough mushrooms to constitute a felony.
"It's just a good time" to remind players to stay out of trouble, Giacoletti said.
The problems facing the Bulldogs are especially important to Giacoletti, who's close friends with Gonzaga coach Mark Few. Giacoletti said he already has spoken to Few several times about the incident, which curiously occured the night before a game against St. Mary's - not in celebration afterward.
The Bulldogs did manage to beat St. Mary's without Heytvelt and Davis last weekend, but lost to Santa Clara 84-73 on Monday night - snapping their 50-game homecourt winning streak and relegating them to second place in the West Coast Conference.
