Georgia coach's son suspended after claims


ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia assistant coach Jim Harrick Jr. was suspended Friday, a day after a former player accused him of paying his expenses and committing academic fraud.

Harrick, son of head coach Jim Harrick, is barred from participating in practices and games, athletic director Vince Dooley said in a statement. He will be permitted to use basketball office facilities.

In an interview with ESPN on Thursday night, Tony Cole said Harrick Jr. paid Cole improper financial and academic benefits.
