CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (AP) -- Southeast Missouri State has fired
its athletic director and placed its men's basketball coach on
administrative leave three days after the NCAA notified the school
of possible major violations.
The firing of Don Kaverman and discipline of Scott Edgar on
Thursday came three months after the women's basketball team
forfeited 44 victories, and the women's and men's programs were
placed on two years' probation for major and secondary violations.
The school in Cape Girardeau, Mo., said in a release that
Kaverman was placed on administrative leave until Feb. 7, 2009,
when his contract will end. Associate athletic director Cindy
Gannon was appointed as interim director. The school hopes to hire
a replacement by Jan. 1.
