The University of South Florida is investigating men's basketball associate head coach Tom Herrion after allegations he made racist comments on multiple occasions, according to Collin Sherwin of DraftKings.
Head coach Brian Gregory is also under investigation for allegedly failing to discipline Herrion.
"We are aware of troubling concerns that have been reported involving a member of our men’s basketball coaching staff," the school said in a statement, via Jeff Goodman of Stadium. "We take these matters very seriously."
Per Goodman, the school said it is conducting an independent review and Herrion has been put on administrative leave until the investigation is complete.
