Overview

• Utah Tech women's basketball coach JD Gustin has been suspended for two games following an investigation into allegations of misconduct by players.
• The investigation was prompted by a report submitted to the university in May by a private investigator hired by parents of Utah Tech players, alleging that Gustin bullied, physically intimidated, and retaliated against players dating back to 2018.
• More than 20 current and former players and assistant coaches anonymously alleged a wide range of misconduct against Gustin, including physical intimidation, unsolicited back rubs and shoulder massages, and comments about players’ bodies and sex lives.
• Some players also claimed that Gustin pulled their full-ride scholarships and kicked them off the team after discovering that they had made official complaints about his behavior.
• Gustin will remain as head coach, and the findings of the investigation will be used to improve the women’s basketball program.
