Penn State coach Pat Chambers suspended 1 game after shoving player vs. Michigan

Penn State men’s basketball coach Patrick Chambers has been suspended for Sunday night’s game against Wisconsin after shoving one of his players during the first half of Thursday’s game against Michigan.

Both Chambers and athletic director Sandy Barbour released statements Friday night, outlining the punishment. Chambers also apologized for the incident.

“I apologized to Myles after the game and I have spoken with his family,” Chambers said in the statement. “My actions were inappropriate; that’s not what Penn State stands for or what I stand for. I told Myles I was sorry that it happened. Sandy and I have spoken and agreed there are some things I need to address.
