The 7 footer for Lausanne was suspended for the championship game after being ejected in the semifinal. Would of been a different result for Tolton had he been eligible.

 

[have an idea]

What was he ejected for? Don’t need details. Hanging on rim type stuff or behavior

 

[FlourPower]

He was too old and violated the dunk rule in the tournament.

Got mixed up with 2 kids trying to foul him late in the game. Hit one kid with an inadvertent elbow as he was passing the ball. Pivoted and caught the other kid in the shoulder with an elbow. That kid knocked knees with him and fell. In game speed, it looked as though he hit him with an elbow to the head. Wish refs had replay to look at plays like that. That kid had to sit that game as well as Tennessee High School Association made him sit the next game as well. Anymore incidents and the kid can be suspended further through their association. Bad ordeal all around for all involved in a very physical, intense game throughout. I will say this in Moussa's defense, I watched him sign unlimited autographs for kids and adults, as well as take pictures with whoever wanted them. It is great to see a player with that much talent, give back to the youth and not think anything of it.
