Um, did you read the official statement from the U of M re:this issue? Secondly, when asked about this issue Lucia replies with "We wish Tyler the best and have nothing more to say regarding this issue." I've heard it multiple times. Tyler helped the Gophers to a nat'l championship and was their leading scorer 2 years ago and this year, they aren't going to throw him under the bus. Moreover, the U's hands are tied over this, it's the family that decides what info comes out. So not only is it unseemly for the coaching staff to comment, they could get in legal hot water if they did.
My conclusion, I highly doubt that Hill commented. If he did, it was a mistake. He shouldn't even say that the team may be better without Tyler, even if it's true. It's obvious that Tyler's behavior would have team ramifications, why say it?
