Boys’ basketball: Sacramento coach suspended after allegation of undue influence
Joey Rollings, the boys’ basketball coach at Sacramento Sheldon, has been suspended for four weeks by the Elk Grove Unified School District after an investigation into an allegation of undue influence, according to the Sacramento Bee.
He is banned from attending practices and games.
Three players who transferred to Sheldon at the start of the school year have not played.
“In the fall, an allegation of undue influence was brought to the district’s attention,” spokeswoman Elizabeth Graswich said in a statement. “We conducted a full investigation. The investigation found multiple CIF bylaws may have been violated. It also found that some district protocols were not followed.”
