Morehead State University suspended men's basketball coach Sean Woods has been charged with misdemeanor battery in Indiana.A police affidavit accuses Woods of shoving or hitting two players, sophomore Malik Maitland and junior Soufiyane Diakite, while the team was playing an away game at the University of Evansville last month.
The players told a Morehead State police officer that Woods had assaulted them during a game. The officer contacted police in Evansville.
Maitland told police that Woods backhanded him in the chest during halftime, and Diakite said Woods shoved him during a timeout and again in the locker room.
When woods was suspended last month, athletic director Brian Hutchinson declined to comment until an investigation was concluded.
