What type of discipline does he deserve for his comment about Frank Kaminsky?

He gets to stop going to class (which likely he has already done) and put his named in for the NBA draft.  That will teach him.

If he sticks around, banned from at least one NCAA game next year.

Why was he forced to do a post game press conference in the first place?

Love his competitive spirit. That's how you should feel immediately after your season ends

So the NCAA could "exploit" him.

What he said was totally unacceptable and racist. If Kaminsky had said the same about Harrison, he would be banned from the game.  But everybody apologizes for Harrison. Ah yes, the PC world we live in.

Who is apologizing for him? Everything I have seen has condemned him

Was his statement idiodic and wrong yes.  But the media attention this is getting far surpasses what should be being said.

In a press conference Kaminsky was asked how they would want the other teams starters to describe you.

He said, "We're white".  The media has went out of its way to define Wisconsin as the white guys.  Fans go on the UW board and refer to UK as thugs.

Even in the post game sideline interview, Kaminsky (after being asked what was key to the game) commented that UW is tougher, plays harder and is better (quite arrogant).

I'm not condoning Harrisons actions (they were wrong), but UK has been vilified by fans/media and even after the game Kaminsky continues to take them down.  He was acting out of anger/passion (again no defense), the media should highlight it, but they should also highlight statements like Kaminsky's "white guys" and avoid racial commentary leading into the game.

Of course no one apologized for him and, of, course Frank would not be banned from the game. I can't believe some of the comments here.

But, it's always the same 3 or 4 people who are offended by anything a minority says or does.

It's great that the overwhelming majority here see the comment for what it was - a college kid saying something stupid.
