The Arizona Wildcats announced Friday that they have suspended assistant basketball coach Mark Phelps five days without pay for an unspecified violation of NCAA rules.
According to ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman, the suspension is unrelated to the FBI probe into corruption and bribery in college basketball that resulted in the federal indictment of former Wildcats assistant Emanuel "Book" Richardson.
The Tucson Star's Zack Rosenblatt added senior forward Keanu Pinder has been suspended for Friday's season opener against Northern Arizona after he violated NCAA rules.
Pinder, who transferred before the 2016-17 season from Hutchinson Community College in Kansas, didn't have a particularly big role during his first year with the Wildcats.
