Hope he is ok. Not knowing what happened that’s all I can say at this point.
Trouble brewing in Ames. Caleb Grill kicked off team
- Thread starter Chishawk1425
- Start date
Just says he said something he regrets. What could someone with known mental health issues possibly say that deserves kicking him to the curb?!
Patrick got nothing but support from both staff & fans at Iowa…..as it should be.
If it’s a mental health issue and he said something very regrettable due to that mental health issue this looks very bad on TJ for kicking him off the team and not getting him the help he needs.
I’d be more worried about your coach and why he kicked him off the team instead of what a few posters here are saying. Bad look on ISU.
On the local news, I overheard that he made some disparaging tweets about ISU and Otzelberger.
The hilarious thing is they could lose out, and ISU fans would still argue they should get a higher seed than Iowa because "Big 12 so tuff".
And I could honestly see the committee being dumb enough to do that because the NET is obsessed with the Big 12 this year.............
There’s really only 1 thing that can get you kicked off a basketball team.
Hell you can bring a drunk guy a loaded weapon, block a car in, get your car shots up, and someone ends up getting killed and that doesn’t get you a second look but some words….
Like I said.

Something obviosly isnt going well in his mind. I hope finds some solutions. Good luck Caleb.
If the kid was refusing to get help you sometimes need to take extreme action. ISU cannot comment due to HIPPA. Otz is closer to that kid than just about anyone around.
Short of dropping the hard R on a certain word… rather interesting what couldve been said to get the boot.
If it were a mental health issue, why would he have been dismissed from the team. Shouldn't Otzelberger take a different approach to the issue?
Lots of speculation with very little information. All we have is Grills statement.
Otzelberger recruited him to more than one school and clearly knows him very well. For that reason, I'll assume whatever Grill said was terrible and was deemed to be purposely malicious and not just a mental break/mistake.
This has to be it.
That or he banged Mrs. whataburger and bragged about it.
Did he tell TJ that his medium shirt doesn’t fit?
Or his haircut is ghey?
Of course im just tossing that out there… you really hope that its not the case, but that just seems like about the only things that will get you the boot these days… and rightfully so. I really hope he is not playing the mental health card to score some sympathy points… if so total heel move.
Not only that he followed coach from UNLV
Probably…there were some idiots- chances are there are some repeat idiots. Threads are there - scroll back
ISU is a shitshow right now. And that's after being a shitshow as recently as the 20/21 season.
Appears like the wheels are falling off the tricycle.

Yeah, there's really not even a lot of rumors about it. I hope he gets the help he needs. In these situations if he wants privacy he deserves it.
TJ and Grill and that whole family are incredibly close. This has to be incredibly difficult for everybody involved.
Good luck to the young man.
He has his whole life with so many positive experiences ahead.

Yeah I agree that's the thing. What ever he did had to have been pretty bad to be kicked off the team few days before the end of the regular season. Mental health can only go far as an excuse. Can be a contributing factor but can't solely lay blame on it because end of the day he's a 22 year old man, not some 18 year old freshman, and the bucks stops with him on his actions or what he says and does. seems like for most part taking accountability and believe has an extra year left so maybe finds peace somewhere else for his 5th year.
Almost all the comments on this board were in support of Patrick & his issues. As our resident expert, please provide examples otherwise.
Has OSU released a statement? Seems odd that you'd use the language "kicked off" if you are having mental illness issues.
But maybe it's a reporter/tweeter wanting attention.
Hopefully he gets any help he needs

Look at the time here dope. Nobody made fun of his mental illness, some were joking before his announcement, and after he was kicked off. Stop being so dramatic.
If the incident in question is mental health related, why not silently remove him from games and get him the help he needs, while just saying he's injured?
If the incident in question isn't mental health related, and is against team guidelines, then they're handling it as they should.

Where? I read it. The statement linked here says nothing about a cause and certainly doesn’t imply a struggle with mental health. I agree with the others that it’s quite shameful for ISU to kick him off for mental health issues.
ETA: my bad, I missed the second set off for text pictures
