CINCINNATI, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- After failing to appear at practices the last two days, guard Tony Bobbitt quit the men's basketball team at Cincinnati.
The school gave no reason for the departure, but said that Bobbitt remains enrolled in school.
"He quit," Coach Bob Huggins told the Cincinnati Post Tuesday evening. "He's told one person one thing; another person another thing; another person another thing."
Also, a source told the paper that Bobbitt, who sustained a sprained ankle Jan. 11 at TCU, was unhappy with his limited playing time.
"He's angry about something, and he's just not talking about it," his stepfather, John Albright, told the paper from Daytona Beach, Fla. "I don't know what happened. He's a little confused. I hope he gets his head together. I wish that he could get it worked out."
Bobbitt, a junior who transferred from the College of Southern Idaho this season, averaged 7.2 points and 1.8 rebounds, and appeared in all but one of the Bearcats' 18 games. He scored 29 points in a win over Oregon in December.
The Daytona Beach native earned junior college All-America honors last season, and was ranked second nationally in steals.
Cincinnati (13-5) visits No. 6 Louisville on Wednesday night, and Bobbitt did not make the trip.
