Kansas suspends assistant coach Howard

Kansas assistant coach Jerrance Howard has been suspended for two weeks by head coach Bill Self. According to the Peoria Journal Star, Howard was arrested last July on misdemeanor marijuana possession charges. He paid $1,178.26 in fines after the arrest and was put on six months probation. Apparently Self just recently learned of the incident. Howard issued a statement that read: ""I take full responsibility for my actions," Howard said in a statement released by the school. "I should have never been in that situation. Not only did I let myself down but also my family, my coaches, my players, the fans and this program.

"I compounded the problem by not disclosing this incident to Coach Self and Kansas athletics," he said. "I brought this penalty upon myself and will use this situation as motivation to work harder and represent this great program positively moving forward."
