We are gathered here today to celebrate the life of Terrence Jones, a life cut short by the violent recklessness of Thaddeus Young.
Yes, Thaddeus had every right to dunk the ball like he did, but that didn’t mean he had to do it.
Poor Terrence Jones was helpless as his efforts to defend himself were in vain, only serving as a desperate last grasp to avoid embarrassment.
As soon as the act happened, many rushed to alert the authorities, but the incident had already been done. There was nothing anyone in Bankerslife Fieldhouse could do at that point.
