New Mexico State has fired men’s basketball head coach Greg Heiar amid an investigation into the program, the school announced Tuesday.
The program canceled its season over the weekend as the team reportedly faces allegations over hazing incidents involving multiple players. A police report was filed, and the school placed the coaching staff on administrative leave as it conducted an investigation.
Additionally, Aggies forward Mike Peake allegedly shot and killed 19-year-old University of New Mexico student Brandon Travis last November in what the police described as self-defense. After that incident, police reportedly found the gun used in that shooting in the hotel room of an assistant coach.
