One thing that young players must remember is that someone is always listening. In Andrew Harrison’s case, all of America was listening.
A reporter had asked Karl-Anthony Towns, “Karl, could you talk about Kaminsky and what if anything is unique about defending him?” To that, you can see Andrew cover his mouth and his mic picked up a few words that he said. Listen below:

You can hear pretty clearly, “F– that n—.”
Kentucky is looking into the comments made by him, but what can they really do? If they suspend him, he can just turn pro. They can’t fine him. It’ll just be a slap on the wrist. Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski expects Andrew to enter the draft.
Harrison addressed the situation on Twitter a few hours later:
First i want to apologize for my poor choice of words used in jest towards a player I respect and know.

When I realized how this could be perceived I immediately called big frank to apologize and let him know I didn’t mean any disrespect

We had a good conversation and I wished him good luck in the championship game Monday.
