Morehead State basketball coach Sean Woods has resigned from his position, effective immediately, athletic director Brian Hutchinson announced in a statement on Thursday.
The school had suspended Woods since Nov. 22 after two players accused Woods of physically assaulting them during a Nov. 19 game at the University of Evansville.
The players, Malik Maitland and Soufiyane Diakite, told a Morehead State police officer that Woods physically abused them in separate incidents during the game. Maitland, a freshman, said Woods backhanded him in the chest at halftime; Diakite, a junior, accused the coach of shoving him during a timeout and after the game in the locker room.
