MADISON, Wis. (AP) - A former Baraboo High School basketball star remains in critical condition after being punched in a Madison bar on Halloween by a man dressed as a flying monkey.
A spokeswoman for the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison says Tuesday that 42-year-old Darin Schubring is critical but stable condition. She had no other details.
Schubring's father, John Schubring of Baraboo, says his son was trying to calm the man in the Wizard of Oz costume before he was struck on the temple, fell and hit his head.
A police spokesman says the detective on the case expects to make an arrest.
The 6-foot-10 Darin Schubring led the Thunderbirds to a 22-0 record and their first state tournament appearance in 33 years during his junior year. He went on to play at the University of Wisconsin and professionally in Europe.
