Ty Virgil?

[vukovich]

I was told Ty Virgil of Sheldon was kicked off the team and is at a prep school back east can anyone confirm that? Kid is talented but I don’t like his long term chances. 4 schools in 3 years and twice being removed from the team.

Sheldon star player out​

Sheldon will play the rest of this season without its top player as 6-4 national recruit guard Ty Virgil was removed from the longtime powerhouse Huskies after an in-game incident with head coach Joey Rollings.

In a nonleague game against Granada of Livermore on Jan. 7 at Capital Christian, Virgil left the bench and removed his jersey. Virgil’s father, Terrell Virgil, told The Bee that he told his son to leave the jersey since the team collects them after games to wash. In a later meeting with Sheldon administration, Virgil was informed that his time at Sheldon was over. The Virgil family demanded the Elk Grove Unified School District investigate the matter, with Terrell Virgil saying he was upset that Rollings was forceful in his communication with his son, grabbing his arm on the bench.

Last week, Virgil transferred to prep school powerhouse Putnam Science Academy of Connecticut.

Sad thing is it’s not even the kids fault. His parents are completely nuts.

I could see him taking his jersey off in the online feed, couldn't see what might have happened to cause it... Thanks for clearing it up.

99% of parents today are nuts

It's ridiculous. Any kind of coaching that might involve raising a voice or touching a guy and parents can't take it. Sheldon is such a great program with such a good track record. This kid likely won't get better at prep school back east and he's now gone from his friends and community.

The bee had an article about it. I applaud the program for taking the right approach. Long term they are better without these distractions.
