Now another UK player has gotten into Twitter trouble.

Only this time, the player has been kicked off Twitter, for the time being.

Yes, as John Calipari tweeted a bit earlier, Josh Harrellson has been put on Twitter suspension.

Harrellson complained via Twitter for not getting a Calipari copliment after his 26-rebound performance in the Blue-White Scrimmage.

Hat tip to blog reader UK Boo, who reports that Harrellson tweeted:

“Either we are the worst offensive rebounding team or he had gotten better”!!! Just amazing to me I can’t get a good job or way to go

yes he has been working hard this off season… It is just amazing to me but I look past it and keep trucking! You can’t stop this train!!!

Now Harrellson’s Twitter account has been shut down.

Meanwhile, Cal tweeted:

UKCoachCalipari John Calipari
Please don’t fault Josh. He’s never dealt w/ how to handle success. I promoted him to the 1st team & told the team to applaud his effort.

And then:

UKCoachCalipari John Calipari
I’m looking for consistency in practice, scrimmages & games. He won’t be tweeting until he’s responsible enough to handle success & failure.

With Katner still out..Harrellson has played better than other big man on their roster..His contribution might be what Zoubek supplied for Duke last season..As anyone that have ever worked in their life,will tell you..Your boss sometimes never give you that pat on the back.Its just your job to do the best you can..Becuz someone will appreciate it…

It is an old douchey coach move on the part of Cal where even the supposed compliment is dismissive. Wasn’t there a little episode last year where Wall got upset by this kind of thing too? Cal loves thinking he is the smartest and most charming person in the room, just like most snakeoil salesmen coaches, and it is completely understandable that the act wears on guys who do the work.
