A photo of Missouri's home-court victory over Colorado last Feb. 1 that appears in this season's basketball media guide was altered to erase Ricky Clemons, the troubled point guard tossed off the team this summer.
"We do that with photos quite frequently if there is something in the photo we don't like," the school's director of athletic media relations said in a telephone interview Thursday.
In the unedited picture Clemons is clearly seen walking behind two other players. The picture won a first place prize in a regional contest of the National Press Photographers Association. But in the manipulated version, Clemons is gone, replaced by a cut-and-paste repeat of another piece of the photo - which ends up putting the same courtside spectators into the media guide image twice. Clemons' white-uniformed reflection is still slightly visible on the basketball court.
"First Clemons was kicked out of the program; now he's been extracted from its past," wrote Tribune columnist Tony Messenger, who first disclosed the photo manipulation. The Tribune said the newspaper has allowed the athletic department to use its photos in team media guides, but never approved manipulation of its pictures.
Clemons pleaded guilty in April to two misdemeanors following an incident last January.
