Women’s Basketball Coach Placed on Leave for Possible Serious Violations of University Policies
California State University, Fresno head women’s basketball coach Stacy Johnson-Klein has been placed on paid administrative leave effective immediately pending the outcome of a review.
Athletics director Scott Johnson announced the leave today for what are described as “allegations of serious violations” of university policies by the coach.
“We have met with Coach Johnson-Klein and informed her that the university has reports of several serious problems that may violate university policy,” Johnson said
The review will be conducted as quickly as possible and the university will provide an opportunity for Coach Johnson-Klein to respond to issues that have been raised.
The alleged violations are not believed to involve major NCAA violations, although there are potentially two secondary infractions which will be immediately reported to the NCAA.
During her absence assistant coach Adrian Wiggins will serve as interim head coach for the team. Wiggins is in his third season as assistant coach at Fresno State. Wiggins oversees both preseason and postseason workouts and assists with on-the-floor coaching.
