If you don't know how to read, MUBB's Tweet does make it sound like a fight happened.

Now Shaka will have to answer questions about what actually happened rather than saying goodbye and good luck to zaide.

Just another low during an all time pathetic season.

I'm certain the media would've never asked him about Zaide leaving in the middle of the season if not for MUBB's Tweet.

Good thing we've established Shaka is a liar to the media already, so he can just do that some more.

The line of questioning will be much different now than if Marquette account never responded.

Their acknowledgment gives validity to the fact something along those lines occurred.

MU pr department could have and maybe should have wrote "There was no physical altercation", or if they wanted to get specific, "It was a verbal altercation". That is of course if there was no physical contact.

Maybe if Lowery has a social media account, he can help out Shaka the coach that recruited and developed him, by writing something denying the alleged fight. 

Let's see if the reporter Ben Steele earns his pay as a beat reporter and can obtain the true, actual facts about what occurred.  I am sure he has contacts/sources and there were probably numerous witnesses who can verify if such an incident took place.  But, sometimes reporters will not print it in order to save face with the team they cover, fear of losing personal contacts with the team.

There wasn't an acknowledgement. There was a denial. Some of you are intentionally misreading the post - which certainly could have been better worded - so you can have faux outrage over the situation.

I haven't read all the twits about this. Does any one of them claim that a physical altercation happened?

When I first saw the word "altercation," I actually assumed it was verbal, because physical altercations between athletes and coaches are pretty damn rare these days.

I mean, just a few days ago, Steve Kerr and Draymond Green definitely had an altercation. And it definitely wasn't physical. That kind of thing happens fairly often.
