The New Mexico State men's basketball program has been suspended through the rest of the season over hazing allegations. Whenever they start playing again, head coach Greg Heiar won't be around.

School chancellor Dan Arvizu announced Tuesday that Heiar has been fired and promised "an expansive review and full investigation" into the allegations that put the program on ice only one year after the team won the WAC regular-season and tournament titles.

The Aggies announced the suspension of the program Friday but declined to provide the reason. Heiar and his coaching staff were placed on paid administrative leave during the suspension.
