Oh, Pancaked. Kyle Fuller’s book is complete fiction and the former and current players are disgusted (see Twitter comments) and furious. I am really disappointed in Kyle, since I supported him and wished him the best. The book is a huge joke around here. He isn’t even accurate in the stuff he made up- i.e. the names of the dorms at Lipscomb where he had some of his sexual conquests, etc. He had to back-pedal really quickly, and you’ll notice that there hasn’t been much said lately about the book. I assure you that anything Kyle Fuller invented in his head is NOT the culture of the basketball team.

There have been a couple of problems and a few athletes have been dismissed from the team in the last few years, and I am well-aware of those circumstances and I assure you it is nothing comparable to rape or any type of sexual assault. One player had a failed drug test, one had a shop-lifting arrest and academic problem (is now playing at Gonzaga and sincerely apologized to Vanderbilt, his teammates and his fans for what happened), and one had a violation of university security policies (more than once).
