Texas basketball notes: Shaka Smart doesn’t expect school to reinstate Kerwin Roach II soon

The Texas Longhorns career of senior guard Kerwin Roach II isn’t officially over, but the team’s leading scorer does remain indefinitely suspended for a violation of team rules confirmed by the school on Friday.

Now suspended for the third time in nearly four years with the Horns, Roach isn’t likely to return soon, head coach Shaka Smart said during his Monday media availability. If that does happen at some point, it will be the decision of athletics director Chris Del Conte — Smart has discussed the situation with Del Conte, but the ultimately decision will be made at that level.
