Air Force basketball news: Falcons head coach receives suspension

Air Force men’s basketball head coach Joe Scott has been suspended indefinitely pending an investigation into the treatment of cadet-athletes, the school announced in a statement on Saturday. Assistant Jon Jordan will serve as interim head coach in what is already a lost season.

The Falcons (3-14) are in the midst of a 10-game losing streak, which follows a two-year stretch in which they amassed a brutal 7-42 record. Regardless of what comes of the investigation, one would assume that Scott’s days as HC are numbered. But that does not downplay the significance of this news. How a coach handles his players is always going to draw public attention and generate copious discussions.

There is no point in speculating, though. The United States Air Force Academy has not provided any further details at this time. Jordan, who served under Scott at the University of Denver from 2007-16, will ideally be able to make a seamless transition to the role.
