EAST LANSING – Suzy Merchant is back on the sidelines.
The 10th year Michigan State women’s basketball coach made her return to the court Sunday afternoon during the Spartans’ 89-72 loss to Big Ten leader and No. 3-ranked Maryland.
Merchant had been away from the program on medical leave since Jan. 17 after experiencing symptoms during a road game against Rutgers that were similar to the ones she felt when she fainted on the sidelines during a New Year’s Day home victory over Illinois.
