The suspension occurred because he scheduled a scrimmage against Eastern Connecticut. I don't know the exact details, but something was done wrong (maybe they kept score, which is not allowed), that scrimmage wasn't allowed. Which meant that the team had scheduled too many games. Syracuse, the original final game of the season, was gracious enough to allow a cancellation. Had they played, UConn would have been ineligible for the BET. However, the penalty was that Geno could not coach the remainder of the regular season and the BET.
