MANSFIELD (CBSMiami/AP) — Sometimes, a bad decision will live with a person for a long, long time.
The University of Connecticut has hired a former NFL coach to the men’s basketball team who made national headlines for tripping a player.
UConn announced Wednesday it has hired Sal Alosi as the team’s director of human performance.
The 41-year-old will replace Ed Streit, who was last season’s strength and conditioning coach.
Alosi was suspended and fined $25,000 by the New York Jets in December of 2010 after he tripped Miami Dolphins player Nolan Carroll while Carroll was covering a punt.
