Columbia University suspends women’s basketball coach Megan Griffith for the first three games of the upcoming season after an internal review. The university says the suspension follows findings about Griffith’s conduct and coaching interactions with the team during practices.
Columbia conducted the review through an external firm after receiving a complaint about Griffith’s coaching behavior from a prior season. Outlets report that the decision is based on whether her interactions during practices met the university’s expectations for coaching conduct. Different coverage largely aligns on the length of the suspension (three games) and the general process (external review after a complaint), with limited additional details about the specific incidents.
