Air Force men's basketball coach Joe Scott has been suspended indefinitely. The Air Force Academy announced the move Saturday, citing an investigation into his treatment of cadet-athletes. No specific allegations were released. Scott released a statement saying he will cooperate fully and await a proper resolution. The school's basketball program hosts Nevada later Saturday.

Scott is in his sixth year of his second stint leading the Falcons. The team holds a 3-14 record this season. His overall record at Air Force is 97-183. Scott previously led the program to the NCAA tournament in 2003-04 before coaching at Princeton and the University of Denver. He returned to Colorado as an assistant in 2020 before becoming head coach again.

Assistant coach Jon Jordan will serve as interim coach. The suspension leaves the program in immediate uncertainty as it navigates a difficult season. The investigation's outcome could impact team morale and recruiting. Air Force, a military institution, holds its athletes to strict conduct standards, making any findings about player treatment particularly sensitive within its community.
