Scottie Wilbekin already may not have been able to maintain his grip on Florida's starting point guard position with McDonald's All-American Kasey Hill arriving.

Now the senior is going to have an even tougher time keeping his job.

Florida announced via Twitter on Monday afternoon that Wilbekin has been suspended indefinitely for an unspecified team rules violation, the second time in seven months coach Billy Donovan has suspended the senior guard. Wilbekin also sat out the first three games of the Gators' season last November as a result of another unspecified team rules violations.

It's unclear when Wilbekin will be reinstated, but the fact this is his second suspension suggests his status on the team could be in some jeopardy, especially if he were to get into further off-the-court trouble this summer. A Florida spokesman declined comment when asked for further information about the cause of Wilbekin's suspension and how it would impact his status with the program.

Even though Hill has the potential to be an impact freshman for Florida, a prolonged absence for Wilbekin would be damaging to the Gators. The 6-foot-2 senior-to-be averaged 9.1 points and 5.0 assists as a junior in his first season as a starter and emerged as one of the SEC's better ball-hawking perimeter defenders.

The early front runner to go No. 1 overall in the 2014 NBA draft has passed on the chance to play for Canada at the U-19 World Championships in Prague next month. He'll instead spend his summer focusing on what's likely to be his lone season at Kansas.

“At 18 years old, Andrew has a long basketball career ahead of him. Andrew’s decision to prepare himself this summer for the upcoming season is a decision we acknowledge," Canada Basketball assistant general manager Rowan Barrett said in a statement. "Our team will miss Andrew this summer, but we remain focused on Andrew's long-term development and our organizational goals for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and beyond."

Wiggins' decision not to play for his country this summer comes as a disappointment to Canadian basketball fans, but he's hardly alone in making preparation for the college season a priority.

None of Kentucky's heralded incoming freshmen are trying out for the U.S. team, nor is prized Duke recruit Jabari Parker. In fact, Arizona-bound Aaron Gordon was the lone top 20 Class of 2013 recruit who chose to try out for the U.S. U-19 team and the only other incoming freshmen on the roster are Arizona's Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Washington's Nigel Williams-Goss and UCLA's Bryce Alford.

Nonetheless, the decision by Wiggins draws greater scrutiny in Canada since he is the nation's premier young player. Not only did he help lead Canada to a bronze medal at the U-18 Americas tournament last summer to secure a berth in the U-19 World Championships, his name had also been listed on the Canadian U-19 roster prior to this weekend's announcement.

When Charlie Coles awoke in a hospital bed in Kalamazoo, Mich. hours after suffering a near-fatal heart attack during the first half of a 1998 MAC tournament game, the Miami (Ohio) coach's first concern wasn't his health.

He gestured for a nurse to get him a pen and paper and scratched out the question, "Did we win?"

Stories like that of Coles' competitiveness and sense of humor are what his friends and colleagues in the basketball industry will remember most about him. Coles, Miami's all-time leader in career wins, died Friday morning at age 71, the school announced. No cause of death was reported immediately, but Coles had a long history of heart issues.

To provide a window into Coles' colorful wit and fierce competitiveness, I spoke to the greatest player he coached at Miami (Ohio). Wally Szczerbiak reflected on Coles' sense of humor, the time the coach nearly died on the floor and on the 1999 Sweet 16 run that landed Miami (Ohio) on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

JE: I'll start with the obvious question first. Give me your reaction to hearing that Charlie passed away this morning?

WS: It was a shock. It was very unexpected. Charlie had just retired a year ago and he had been doing really well. It was no secret he had some heart issues he was battling through. I don't know all the details, but he was a big part of my college career and he was a great coach and a great person. He'll be sorely missed.
