ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) Albany men's basketball coach Dwayne Killings will serve a five-game suspension next season and pay a $25,000 fine for "inappropriate physical contact" with a player, the university announced Saturday.
The university's investigation concluded that it was an isolated incident. Killings admitted his mistake, apologized and will keep his job, the school said Saturday in a news release posted on its website.
The investigation began in late February after officials were made aware of the allegation. The investigation confirmed that there was physical contact between Killings and a member of the men's basketball team during a pre-game hype circle before a road game in late November. The incident was not reported until the administration received a complaint on Feb. 27.
