Jamall Walker suspended for two NCAA Tournament games

Illinois men's basketball assistant coach Jamall Walker received a public reprimand and a two-game tournament suspension for his misconduct during the 2013 Division I Men's Basketball Championship.

Specifically, Walker made inappropriate contact with a game official and verbally confronted the game officials and a police officer following Illinois' loss to Miami (Fla.) on March 24 in the third round of the East Region. Walker's misconduct led the Division I Men's Basketball Committee to issue him a two-game NCAA postseason championship suspension. The suspension shall apply to the next NCAA postseason opportunity that Walker will have as a coach, regardless of what school he represents.
