Press & Sun-Bulletin: BU coach Broadus placed on paid leave
Binghamton University basketball program in turmoil

Binghamton University men’s basketball coach Kevin Broadus was placed on paid leave of absence today in wake of a wide-ranging investigation into the basketball program.

Assistant Coach Mark Macon will assume the duties of head coach on an interim basis.

SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher, who had directed University President Lois B. DeFleur to cooperate fully with a former judge’s investigation into allegations of misconduct, instructed her Wednesday to preserve all materials that may contain information relevant to the investigation. Zimpher also instructed the university by the close of business Thursday to forward a list of everyone on campus who may have information relevant to the investigation.
