Last year, when Twitter was a hot topic among the Big 12, when the Kansas football and basketball teams were airing their differences online, Kansas State coaches were surprisingly liberal regarding their stances on policing their athletes’ social site habits.A year later, it’s safe to say that while no wide-sweeping changes have been made (yet), the “you can’t watch everything they do” attitude has likely changed in Manhattan.The K-State men’s basketball team tried to head off any problems prior to this season, having its players sit through social media training – a lot of which focused on Twitter.Not everyone got the training, however, and he may have needed it the most.Jamar Samuels wasn’t a part of the training session as he worked to get out of head coach Frank Martin’s doghouse, and the on-going sore subject had its freshest Band-Aid ripped off this past Friday as the 21-year-old junior, expected to be a team leader this year, tweeted earlier prior to the Texas Southern game that his after-game plans involved "getting twisted tonight."*For those of you not up to date on your college-speak, that means “not sober” in some fashion.Samuels did not play in the Wildcats’ win, and Martin wouldn’t address his player afterward, saying only “let’s talk about the guys that played.” That phrase is a Martin go-to when he’s dealing with a disciplinary issue. In any case, yes, Samuels is an of-age college kid, and you could debate all day long that it’s his right to do whatever he wants with his time and his Twitter account. However, as someone expected to be a K-State University representative, something the entire athletic department tirelessly stresses, it’s another case of really poor judgment for a team that has had its leadership questioned by its head coach multiple times already this year.Now, was Samuels "officially" suspended for the tweet? "Officially," no, he wasn't. But, that is a giant load of circumstantial evidence - and unfortunate regardless.
