Ole Miss Coach Andy Kennedy, who took over the Bearcats when Bobby Huggins was fired, got arrested this morning in Cincinnati. From the Cincinnati Enquirer:
“Former University of Cincinnati head basketball coach Andy Kennedy, now head coach at Mississippi, was arrested this morning on a charge of assault, accused of attacking a taxi driver and hurling racial slurs at the man, according to police and court records. Also arrested was William Armstrong, the director of operations at Mississippi, on a charge of disorderly conduct, reports show. The men are in town for the SEC/Big East invitational at U.S. Bank Arena. Mississippi plays No. 8 Louisville tonight.
Reports state Armstrong, 31, was drunk and thrown out of the Lodge Bar downtown early this morning. After that, he and Kennedy got a cab. A report says Armstrong taunted the driver “in which his conduct was likely to cause a violent response.
A separate report says Kennedy “was the aggressor” and punched the driver, Mohammed Ould Jiddou. During the attack Kennedy used “racial slurs.”
Kennedy has pleaded innocent to the charges. We’ll let the system work its course but this certainly presents a distraction for the Rebels tonight.
And hey Wednesday at Lodge Bar is College Night:
