PROVO -- BYU men's basketball head coach Dave Rose today announced that he has suspended senior point guard Rashaun Broadus from the team for the remainder of the season.
"Our basketball program at BYU has expectations of behavior and high standards that we've set for ourselves," Rose said. "Unfortunately, Rashaun Broadus made some decisions not in keeping with these standards, and I've decided to suspend him for the remainder of the season. He will not be playing or practicing with the team. The whole thing is very unfortunate."
Broadus has started in 11 of 15 games this season, averaging 6.1 points and 2.2 assists. Senior Austin Ainge, who has made seven starts this season and is averaging 5.7 points and a team-leading 3.5 assists, will replace him in the starting lineup.
"We have great confidence in the point guards we have," Rose said. "Austin (Ainge) has played very well and continues to play well. He is a very aggressive player who has a lot of experience. Ben (Murdock) will get more minutes than he's been getting. He's very competitive and has competed well in practice."
