Eddie Lampkin recently left TCU’s basketball program for “personal reasons.” Concerning details regarding this situation surfaced on Wednesday night.
Earlier this week, Lampkin shared screenshots from his mother’s conversation with Dixon on Instagram.
Lampkin has accused TCU head coach Jamie Dixon of mistreatment and making racially insensitive comments.
“Coach Dixon we did not talk yesterday and no one has told you from our end that Eddie is entering the transfer portal,” Lampkin’s mother wrote. “We discussing your behavior towards him. I do not appreciate the way you and everyone at TCU is making it about the transfer portal and not about the real reason he is not there with the team he loves.
“If you all don’t tell the truth of how you have mistreated, disrespected and said racial remarks towards him. We will. Please do not disrespect my son’s name because all we have been is patient with YOU. Handle us with Christian values for once.”
