Already suffering from a broken pinkie, Washington forward Malik Dime has been officially suspended since Feb. 10 for slapping a fan at Colorado. But his time may be up Saturday, just in time for a possible Senior Day appearance.
Washington coach Lorenzo Romar wouldn’t tip his hand Friday, saying only that “we’ll know for sure tomorrow,” and wouldn’t comment on whether Dime’s status as a senior in his final home game would make a diference.
But UA coach Sean Miller said he's expecting Dime will play, and Romar indicated that Dime’s action at Boulder was not characteristic of his overall behavior. Dime has apologized to the heckler he slapped, and the fan did not press charges.
“I chalk it up to human nature, in that there are things I’ve done in my lifetime that I’ve been surprised I did,” Romar said. “I look back and say, `I can’t believe I did that. That’s not Malik Dime. That’s not Malik Dime.”
