Louisville men's basketball coach Chris Mack has been suspended six games without pay for his failure to follow university guidelines and procedures in dealing with former assistant Dino Gaudio's extortion attempt, the school announced on Friday.
While Mack was a victim in the extortion attempt by Gaudio, his sanctions are unrelated to the extortion attempt itself and the ongoing NCAA process, according to a statement from the university.
“I regret that any of my unintentional actions or failures to follow University guidelines have brought unnecessary attention to our outstanding athletics programs and University,” Mack said. “I understand that I could have handled matters differently and therefore I accept this suspension.
