Kansas City, MO
Kansas State associate men’s basketball coach Dalonte Hill, arrested early Thursday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence, will not be on the bench Saturday when the No. 22 Wildcats play at Missouri.The suspension was announced Thursday by athletic director Tim Weiser.
“I want to apologize for this incident,” Hill said in a prepared statement. “I am embarrassed for the attention this has brought to our program. I regret this situation taking away any attention from our team’s accomplishments and from our preparation for Saturday’s game with Missouri.”
Hill was pulled over for a routine check around 2 a.m. on McCall Road, according to Pottawatomie County Sheriff Greg Riat.
That was just hours after No. 22 Kansas State upset No. 2 Kansas 84-75 at Bramlage Coliseum.
“During a stop, a deputy developed probable cause to believe he (Hill) was under the influence,” Riat said.
Hill was later released after posting $500 bond. More >>
