Larry Eustachy has resigned from his position as the head coach of Colorado State, per a report from Matt Stephens of the Denver Post.
Eustachy was under investigation after allegations arose from former players about inappropriate conduct toward his players.
Eustachy also came under investigation in 2014 for similar allegations.
According to previous reports, Eustachy allegedly threw chairs and punted basketballs as a way to intimidate players. As a result of the internal investigation in 2014, Eustachy was not allowed to be alone with his team without a senior official from the athletic department being present as well.
Eustachy coached at Iowa State from 1998-2003 after Tim Floyd took the Chicago Bulls’ head coaching position. In 1999-2000, Eustachy led the Cyclones to the Elite Eight and a school-record 32 wins.
