"Aden's one of our guys, and everybody wants to wrap their arms around [him]. Everybody makes some mistakes in life, but [the players] also understand we've got to move on ... and the team's got to go play Friday. So I thought we did a good job of that this morning, kind of addressing the situation, what we currently knew at the time, and got our guys focused on practice."
"Holloway's arrest came after the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force searched a residence near campus and recovered more than a pound of marijuana, paraphernalia and cash. The 21-year-old player is facing a first-degree charge of marijuana possession, not for personal use, which is a Class C felony and carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a maximum fine of $15,000."
Alabama guard Aden Holloway, averaging 16.8 points per game as the team's second-leading scorer, was arrested Monday on suspicion of felony marijuana possession. The 21-year-old was suspended and removed from campus pending investigation. Police recovered more than a pound of marijuana, paraphernalia, and cash from a residence near campus. Holloway faces first-degree marijuana possession charges and failure to affix a tax stamp, both felonies carrying potential penalties of up to 10 years in prison and $15,000 in fines. Coach Nate Oats stated the No. 4 seed Crimson Tide is equipped to handle his absence and remains focused on Friday's NCAA tournament game against Hofstra.
