ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -New Mexico head coach Mike Locksley has been reprimanded for a fight involving an assistant coach, who told police Locksley struck him and split his lip.
Athletic director Paul Krebs said at a news conference Monday that Locksley was issued “a verbal reprimand” with a follow-up letter for his personnel file in connection with the Sept. 20 altercation.
Locksley didn’t attend the news conference but issued a statement in which he acknowledged the incident occurred. He said he apologized to assistant coach J.B. Gerald, to the coaching staff and to the team.
Krebs said no charges are expected to be filed.
Krebs considers the matter resolved, although he doesn’t condone what Locksley did. He blamed it on the stress of coaching and said it was probably worsened by UNM’s winless start.
