We’ve already heard from Ohio State incoming grad transfer forward Seth Towns himself, and now we’ve got a statement from his new head coach Chris Holtmann stemming from Towns’ detainment Friday night in downtown Columbus.
The news came as a result of Towns being held briefly by the Columbus police for reportedly not moving when asked to do so at a peaceful George Floyd protest. There were no charges and Towns was not arrested, but released.
Now, Chris Holtmann has released a statement through the Ohio State Hoops Twitter profile in support of his player. Below is the complete release shared Saturday night.
I for one, and proud of this kid for peacefully standing up for the violation of civil rights and racial inequality, and hopefully you are too.
