BOSTON ? Albany men’s basketball head coach Will Brown has been suspended for Saturday’s America East Conference game at Binghamton University for violation of the America East Conference Ethical Conduct policy. This action became necessary after Brown’s recent comments regarding Albany’s conference schedule.
“I have discussed with Will Brown the inappropriate nature of his comments,” said America East Commissioner Patrick Nero. “We have a process in place where coaches and administrators have an opportunity to comment on and request changes of their schedule. This process was completed with Albany in September.
“We also have a policy in place on how best to address comments to the conference office,” Nero stated. “As a result of Coach Brown’s comments he will be suspended for this Saturday’s Albany-Binghamton America East Conference game.
Albany appealed the decision to the America East Executive Committee which upheld the Commissioner’s decision.
“I am confident that this situation is behind us and we will have no further issues such as this in the future.”
