LAS CRUCES, N.M. — New Mexico State University suspended operations of its men’s basketball program indefinitely Friday night and placed its coaching staff on paid administrative leave due to allegations the school says are unrelated to a fatal shooting involving one of its players last year.
After the shooting, New Mexico State’s coach, Greg Heiar, loaded the team on to a bus and left town, minus Peake and three players who had picked him up and taken him to the hospital with leg injuries. Police stopped the bus on its way back to Las Cruces.
