Mississippi Valley State head coach Chico Potts has been suspended indefinitely by the university. According to ESPN, Potts had been arrested and charged with domestic violence earlier this month.

University spokeswoman Jennifer Freeman issued a statement on Potts.

"Effective immediately, Coach Potts has been suspended with pay," Freeman said. "This suspension will remain in effect until the university completes its investigation. Associate basketball coach Marcus Thomas will serve as acting head basketball coach and lead the basketball program during the suspension."

Last season was Potts first as the head coach at MVSU – he led the squad to a 5-23 record. He was previously an assistant at MVSU under Sean Woods.
