Kentucky State University coach Mitchell suspended for the year
Kentucky State University officials say they will not impose further punishment on basketball coach Lucius Mitchell beyond a one year suspension for alleged involvement in pro recruiting. The NCAA had sought a harsher penalty, potentially affecting the entire program, while the university and board of regents signaled no additional action. Mitchell expressed relief that the matter is public, saying he wants to stay at KSU. He remains a teacher at the university but is restricted from team activities for one year. The suspension relates to payments received by former KSU stars Elmore Smith and Travis Grant after they went pro.
