Colorado State Players Protest amid Reports HC Larry Eustachy Will Be Fired

Colorado State men's basketball players boycotted practice Thursday amid reports the university will fire head coach Larry Eustachy.

Sean Star of the Loveland Reporter-Herald reported the news, noting players have become frustrated at a lack of communication from the athletic department.

Eustachy, 62, was placed on administrative leave last week as the university conducts an investigation into his behavior.

Matt L. Stephens of the Denver Post reported Colorado State is planning to fire Eustachy due to repeated allegations of verbally abusive conduct with players. The university placed a zero tolerance policy in his contract in 2014 after a prior investigation.
