Kansas suspends assistant basketball coach Joe Dooley after DUI arrest
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas has suspended men’s basketball assistant coach Joe Dooley after he was arrested late Saturday on suspicion of driving under the influence and failure to stop at an accident, the school said in a statement Sunday.
Jayhawks coach Bill Self said Dooley “exercised poor judgement and will be suspended for three weeks, effectively immediately.”
“Joe is remorseful, apologetic and accepts the consequences of his actions,” Self added.
Dooley was hired by Self in 2003 and worked with him for a decade before serving as the head coach at Florida Gulf Coast and East Carolina. He returned to the Jayhawks in 2022, first as the director of student-athlete development and now an assistant coach.
No. 17 Kansas plays Davidson on Monday night before opening Big 12 play against UCF on Jan. 3 in Orlando, Florida.
