Georgia assistant coach Wade Mason suspended for alleged halftime incident

Georgia has suspended assistant basketball coach Wade Mason while it investigates an incident that occurred at halftime during Wednesday's 85-64 loss to LSU, multiple reports said on Saturday.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, there was a dispute between Mason and director of player personnel Brian Fish that turned physical. 

Mason, in his first of a two-year contract at UGA, will be suspended with pay while the school decides what comes next, AJC reported. 

News of Mason's suspension is just the most recent to rock UGA basketball over the last few days. Multiple media outlets began reporting the school was looking to fire head coach Tom Crean for not reporting the kerfuffle between Mason and Fish in a timely manner. Georgia has fired back, calling the reports false.

"There have been various media reports related to UGA Athletics personnel ranging from completely inaccurate to incomplete and premature," the UGA Athletics Association said in a statement. "The incident in question was reported properly as required by university policies and is under review. We will comment if and when appropriate."

Crean's press conference ahead of Saturday's game against Ole Miss was canceled minutes before it was supposed to begin.

Crean, Mason and Fish have all not commented on the incident in question.
