Mississippi Men’s Basketball Coach Andy Kennedy was arrested early Thursday morning and charged with assault after he allegedly punched a 25 year old cab driver while shouting racial slurs. The victim reportedly incurred a swollen left face during the one sided affair. What did this kid do? Take you the long way to the hotel so he could charge you more money on something you would just expense later?
Along with Coach Kennedy, William Armstrong, Mississippi’s coordinator of basketball operations, was also arrested although his direct connection to the assault is not known.
Kennedy was scheduled to sit down with athletic director Pete Boone in a downtown Cincinnati hotel to discuss his future on Thursday, the same day the Rebels will take on Louisville. If it is decided that Kennedy should not coach, assistant Michael White will take over.
Well I guess Kennedy is coaching the right team if he is spending his down time beating up cab drivers and such.
Watch out Andy, because the popo are on your tail!

UPDATE: This story is getting saucy. Coach Kennedy has filed a law suit against his alleged victim for more that $25,000. In the suit he claims the statements made by the cab driver Mohamed Moctar Ould Jiddou defame his character and may make it difficult for him to get another head coaching job. Do you know something about your job security that we don’t?
