East Lansing — Michigan State women’s basketball coach Suzy Merchant is back from her medical leave of absence and is coaching in Sunday’s game against No. 3 Maryland.
It's Merchant’s first game back since she coached at Rutgers on Jan. 14.
Merchant fainted during a home game against Illinois on Jan. 1 and was later taken to a hospital for tests and kept overnight as a precaution. She did not coach on Jan. 4 at Purdue before returning for the next three games.
She felt similar symptoms after the game at Rutgers and stayed in New Jersey for tests at a hospital.
