Like Tax Day, the inevitable became reality Friday night.
Late last night, Colorado State Rams men’s basketball made redshirt junior John Gillon’s transfer official. Also leaving the program is local forward Toby Van Ry, a redshirt sophomore.
Van Ry’s departure is somewhat a surprise, while Gillon’s is not. The feisty, scrappy point guard often butted heads with Rams head coach Larry Eustachy, taking the brunt of the head man’s frustration for all in attendance to see and hear.
When a disconnect between players and Eustachy grew in the winter of 2015, the coach said his “brutal honesty” wasn’t being accepted because players weren’t used to the coaching/mentoring style.
