WVa G Joe Mazzulla suspended indefinitely
The Associated Press
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - West Virginia junior guard Joe Mazzulla has been suspended indefinitely for an undisclosed violation of team rules.
Coach Bob Huggins announced the suspension Friday without elaborating.
Mazzulla started seven games this season before undergoing season-ending surgery on his left shoulder in February.
As a backup in 2007-08, Mazzulla helped the Mountaineers advance to the NCAA tournament's West Region semifinals before losing to Xavier in overtime.
Last September Mazzulla and teammate Cam Thoroughman pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and public drunkenness charges stemming from a July 2008 altercation with police at a Pittsburgh Pirates game. Each player was ordered in Pittsburgh Municipal Court to pay $222 in fines and court costs.
