Air Force men’s basketball coach Joe Scott has been suspended indefinitely pending an investigation into the treatment of cadet-athletes, the school said Saturday.
No other details were provided.
“In response to today’s action, I will fully cooperate with the investigation and look forward to a proper resolution of this matter,” Scott said in a statement. “I will not have any further comment until the matter is resolved.”
Air Force hosts Nevada later Saturday. Assistant coach Jon Jordan will serve as the interim coach.
The Falcons are 3-14 this season. Scott, who is in his sixth year of his second go-round with the team, is 97-183 overall in charge of the Falcons.
Scott led Air Force to the NCAA tournament in 2003-04 before taking over at Princeton for three seasons and then the University of Denver for nine. He was an assistant coach for several seasons before returning to Air Force in 2020.
