Tennessee baseball coach Tony Vitello has been suspended for what the program simply described as a “violation”, the university’s athletic department announced on Friday.
Vitello, who is in his sixth season at Tennessee, will miss the Volunteers’ three-game series against Dayton starting Friday. Assistant Josh Elander will serve as the Volunteers acting head coach.
In the statement, the department shared that the university and Vitello are “working collaboratively with the NCAA to address a violation in the program” and that Vitello “acknowledged his mistake and accepted his full responsibility.”
