West Virginia assistant coach Noel Devine is arrested on a felony strangulation charge hours after the Mountaineers’ win over UT-Martin. Reports describe the incident as involving strangulation allegations and note that the arrest follows the team’s game earlier that day.
Both outlets also indicate Devine is placed on administrative status while the matter is handled. Yahoo Sports reports he is the school’s third-leading rusher and has been on West Virginia’s coaching staff since January 2025, providing context on his role within the program. The New York Post adds that the university puts Devine on indefinite leave after the arrest, describing the team’s and athletic department’s response.
The sources largely align on the timing of the arrest and the university’s decision to remove him from active duties, but differ in emphasis—Yahoo Sports focuses more on Devine’s background and position in the program, while the New York Post centers on the indefinite-leave action.
